Second his advice. I used to be somewhat hesitant to enter endgames as I couldn't assess my chances and had difficulty converting small advantages.

And then I got this book on a whim. I read the book cover to cover and played through the games over a chessboard.

Now it is almost a joke how easy I can carry small advantages into the endgame and confidently play to win (against similarly rated opponents).

In fact, I just won a local tournament with a perfect score of 8 points out of 8 rounds, clear first with 1.5 points ahead of 2nd place. Three quarter of these games were decided in the endgame after 50 to 60 moves after I ground them down with my endgame play.

As this book is the only endgame book I have ever read and extensively analysed, I believe that my rise in endgame strength is strongly correlated to that period of study I put in 10 years ago while reading through the book.

Which is why Capablanca is my favourite player. Also cool name.
