GM Jacob Aagaard is one of the top chess trainers in the world and a multiple-award-winning author. A generation of grandmasters has been raised on his training material.

"The biggest problem when trying to train yourself is finding that high-quality material, especially for endgames. Endgame books tend to rehash the same classic examples because original endgame analysis is very difficult to do well. That’s why I’m so impressed with Aagaard’s ‘Endgame Play’. All of the examples in the book have been played in the last ten years and probably 99% of them were new to me. The quality of the analysis is absolutely top-notch as well." -- GM Matthew Sadler, New in Chess
