Magnus Carlsens brilliant endgame play is one of the key reasons for his success.

Endgame Virtuoso Magnus Carlsen Volume 2 is a highly instructive, inspiring and entertaining book. The former World Chess Champion can win positions which look drawn to anybody else. And more than any other player, he is able to save bad endings.

For this second volume of Magnus Carlsen Endgame Virtuoso, International Master Tibor Karolyi has selected Carlsen's best endgames from 2018 to 2022.Reviewing these new games and explaining what Magnus was doing, the author was thoroughly impressed. Even Carlsen, who in 2017 was already the best endgame player of all time with Anatoly Karpov, had managed to improve his skills further. Carlsen has it all.

He can find deep ideas, play very technically, and is exceptionally well versed in strategic and tactical endgames. The author is convinced that this new selection contains even better and more instructive games than Volume one.

Karolyi explains the general ideas in the games and gives concrete variations. Exploring these annotated endgames, you will soon get a good sense of what is happening. You will find out that Carlsen does not rush unless it is necessary. You will learn how Carlsen increases the pressure and uses all available resources. And you will see that sooner or later, his opponents will start playing second best moves, feeling uncomfortable, following up with some dubious decisions, and, finally, cracking.

It will help you appreciate Magnus' endgame magic and improve your skills in this important game phase. Softback, 256 pages.
