This long awaited edition was finally out of print on January 31, and it already collected fantastic reviews. Here are some excerpts:

Silman’s Complete Endgame Course: From Beginner To Master

“He has divided the book into various sections, based on the playing level of the reader. More advanced readers will read most of the book; beginners need only read the opening chapter. As your play improves, you consult the next section of the book to see what additional lessons you must master. Indeed, you must thoroughly assimilate all of the material in each section before going on to the next section.

A special note for chess teachers, and those who wish to have lessons from chess teachers: I have used the general content of the first three sections of this book as the basis of my lessons with students for many years. (Unlike Silman, I didn’t write it down in book form.) So, buying this book is a good substitute for instruction from a teacher.” - by Petrosian

“Readers familiar with Silman’s other books will not be disappointed. As ever, his writing is full of life, energy and humor. It communicates something of the author’s love for the game, and offers a glimpse into his personality. Most important, in the quality of his instruction he is absolutely peerless. Truly, he has a gift for breaking down a position, walking through the required technique step by step, underscoring the ideas and plans, adding hints there, warning of pitfalls there. His colorful prose keeps the experience memorable and enjoyable. The level of detail seems about right for each rating class.” - JimmyBob

Fellow chess authors have also praised this 500 pages manual - GM Pal Benko, GM Gregory Kaidanov and GM Alex Baburin among others. People who have read Silman’s earlier books will for sure buy this one as well. Others should be at least tempted to see what’s this all about.
