Much literature aboutchess endgames has been produced in the form of books and magazines. A bibliography of endgame books is below.

Many chess masters have contributed to thetheory of endgames over the centuries, includingRuy López de Segura,François-André Philidor,Josef Kling andBernhard Horwitz,Johann Berger,Alexey Troitsky,Yuri Averbakh, andReuben Fine.Ken Thompson,Eugene Nalimov, and other computer scientists have contributed by constructingendgame tablebases.

Some endgame books are general works about many different kinds of endgames whereas others are limited to specific endgames such asrook endgames orpawnless endgames. Most books are one volume (of varying size), but there are large multi-volume works. Most books cover endgames in which the proper course of action (seelist of chess terms#Optimal play) has been analyzed in detail. However, an increasing number of books are about endgame strategy, where exact analysis is not currently possible, due to the presence of morepieces. These endgame strategy books fill the gap from the end of themiddlegame to where the other type of books takes over.

The study of a few practical endgames are found inArabic manuscripts from the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. However, these are from before the rule ofpawnpromotion, so most are of little value today.^[1] A thirteenth-century Latin book by an unknown author examined the endgame of a knight versus a pawn, and formed the basis of later work byAlexey Troitsky in the twentieth century. In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries a few types of endgames were studied, andopposition was known.^[2]

Ruy López de Segura's 1561 book contained eight paragraphs on endgames. It used the Spanish rules in effect at the time, so a stalemate and baring the opponent's king were half-wins.^[3] In 1617Pietro Carrera published knowledge of several types of endgames, includingqueen versus twobishops, tworooks versus a rook and aknight, and two rooks versus a rook and a bishop. Several writers published books developing endgame theory:Gioachino Greco in 1624,Philipp Stamma in 1737, andFrançois-André Philidor in 1749.^[4] In 1634Alessandro Salvio analyzed endgames, including a key position inrook endgames.^[5] Philidor's book contained much more endgame analysis than earlier books. The first edition analyzed the rook and bishop versus rook endgame. Later editions covered thebishop and knight checkmate, rook and pawn versus bishop, queen versus rook and pawn, queen versus rook,rook and pawn versus rook (including thePhilidor position),queen and pawn versus queen,queen versus pawn on the seventh rank, knight versus pawn, two pawns versus one pawn, and twoisolated pawns versus twoconnected pawns.^[6]

The only mutualzugzwang position with thismaterial. White to move draws; Black to move loses.

In the eighteenth century important books were written by Italians (the "Modenese Masters")Domenico Lorenzo Ponziani,Ercole del Rio (1750), andGiambattista Lolli (1763).^[7] Lolli's book was based on del Rio's work and was one of the most important for the next 90 years. He studied the endgame of a queen versus two bishops and agreed with the earlier opinion of Salvio that it was generally adraw. Later this was overturned by computerendgame tablebases, whenKen Thompson found a 71-move solution. However, Lolli did find the unique position of mutualzugzwang in this endgame (see diagram).^[8][9] Lolli's 315-page book was the first giving practical research. His material came from several sources, including analysis by Philidor.^[10]

In 1766Carlo Cozio published analysis of 127 endgame positions, but it was not a practical handbook.^[11] In 1851Bernhard Horwitz andJosef Kling publishedChess Studies, or endings of games, which contained 427 positions. In 1884 Horwitz added more than fifty positions to the book, retitled itChess Studies and End-Games, and completely omitted Kling's name.^[12] Other important books wereFins de parties d'echecs byPhillipe Ambroise Durand andJean-Louis Preti in 1871, andTeoria e pratica del giuoco degli scacchi by Signor Salvioli in 1877.^[13] Horowitz and Kling's analysis of the endgame of two bishops versus a knight had been questioned, and was eventually overturned by computer databases (seepawnless chess endgame).^[14] In 1864 Alfred Crosskill published analysis of theendgame of rook and bishop versus rook, an endgame that has been studied at least as far back as Philidor in 1749.^[15]

Howard Staunton inThe Chess-Player's Handbook, originally published in 1847, included almost 100 pages of analysis of endgames.^[16] His analysis of the very rare rook versus three minor pieces endgame is surprisingly sophisticated. Staunton wrote, "Three minor Pieces are much stronger than a Rook, and in cases where two of them are Bishops will usually win without much difficulty, because the player of the Rook is certain to be compelled to lose him for one of his adversary's Pieces. If, however, there are two Knights and one Bishop opposed to a Rook, the latter may generally be exchanged for the Bishop, and as two Knights are insufficient of themselves to force checkmate, the game will be drawn."^[17] Writing shortly before Staunton,George Walker reached the same conclusions.^[18] Modern-dayendgame tablebases confirm Walker and Staunton's assessments of both endings.^[19] Yet Reuben Fine, 94 years after Staunton, erroneously wrote inBasic Chess Endings that both types of rook versus three minor piece endings "are theoretically drawn".^[20] GrandmasterPal Benko, an endgame authority and like Fine a world-class player at his peak, perpetuated Fine's error in his 2003 revision ofBasic Chess Endings.^[21] GrandmasterAndrew Soltis in a 2004 book expressly disagreed with Staunton, claiming that rook versus two bishops and knight is drawn with correct play.^[22] Endgame tablebases had already proven that Staunton was correct, and Soltis wrong, although it can take up to 68 moves to win.^[23]

The modern period of chess endgame books begins withTheorie und Praxis der Endspiele (Theory and practice of the Endgame) byJohann Berger. This was published in 1891, revised in 1922, and supplemented in 1933. This was the standard work on practical endgames for decades.^[24] Many later books were based on Berger's book.^[25]Edward Freeborough wrote a 130-page book of analysis of the queen versus rook endgame,The Chess Ending, King & Queen against King & Rook, which was published in 1895.Henri Rinck (1870-1952) was a specialist inpawnless endgames andA. A. Troitsky (1866-1942) is famous for his analysis oftwo knights versus a pawn.^[26] In 1927Ilya Rabinovich published a comprehensive book in Russian titledThe Endgame, which was designed for teaching. An updated version appeared in 1938.^[27] (An English version of the second edition was published in 2012 asThe Russian Endgame Handbook.)Eugene Znosko-Borovsky publishedHow to Play Chess Endings in 1940.

In 1941,Reuben Fine publishedBasic Chess Endings, an attempt to collect all practical endgame knowledge into one volume. It is still useful today and has been revised byPal Benko.^[28] Half ofAndré Chéron's (1895–1980) bookTraite Complet d'Echecs was about the endgame, and later he wroteNouveau Traite Complet d'Echecs, which was a large book about the endgame. He later expanded that into the four-volumeLehr- und Handbuch der Endspiele in German, which was translated from the 1952 version in French.^[29] This was a major work forendgame studies but was not designed for the practical player.

Yuri Averbakh published a monumental set of books in Russian in 1956. The works were first published in English as several individual books (Pawn Endings,Bishop Endings,Knight Endings,Bishop v. Knight Endings,Rook Endings,Queen and Pawn Endings,Queen v. Rook/Minor Piece Endings,Rook v. Minor Piece Endings) and later collected into the five-volumeComprehensive Chess Endings. It was also published in other languages.^[30]Bobby Fischer had these books sent to him during hisWorld Championship match.^[31]World ChampionMax Euwe published the comprehensive eight-volumeDas Endspiel in 1957.^[32]

Some other major endgame books areRook Endings byGrigory Levenfish andVasily Smyslov (1971),Practical Chess Endings byPaul Keres (1973),Fundamental Chess Endings byKarsten Müller andFrank Lamprecht (2001),Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual byMark Dvoretsky (2003), andSilman's Complete Endgame Course byJeremy Silman (2007).

Strategic endgames are endgames that begin at the end of the middlegame. Usually each player has several pieces, making the position too difficult to analyze in detail. Therefore, it is usually not certain what the outcome should be or what is the best line of play.
