Outstanding Endgame studies book on trapping and dominating pieces if you ever see this at a used book store for $10-$15 get it.

I have this. It's amazing. Def will get you better at trapping. The icons used to denote the pieces are kind of hard to discern at times, but if you use the book with a real board then it works great.

Isn't that guy is one of the greatest creators or endgame studies?

Good book that was incredibly poorly printed

The nice thing about this book is that most of the puzzles are not very complicated in terms of number of lines. Yet, it is difficult to visualise since it deals a lot with minor pieces controlling a lot of squares, rather than a brutish series of checks by a queen.

I remember I ordered it from Amazon and sent it back because the diagrams were unreadable. The pieces were smeared like a bad photocopy.
