if you are a decent club player you will be a little bit disappointed at the beginning – everything very basic – but the more you advance, the more interesting it gets – eccelent endgame course – and – studying endgames is one of the best trainings to get – as every experienced player knows 🙂

This 2 volume set (total 9 hours!) is a must have for the typical club player. GM Pert goes through all the basic endgame techniques in an easy-to-understand style accompanied by many real world examples. In addition, the included puzzles further enhance your ability to quickly understand what to do in crucial situations while the clock is ticking. It’s nice to deliver a winning attack in the middlegame but should you ever find yourself in a game with only a few pieces left on the board, you will wish you bought this DVD.

I have developed a real fascination for the endgame of late and have been consuming a number of programs. I love Pert’s course, great stuff and easily understandable. Recommend it.

Understanding chess endgames is a very important fundamental concept that I think should be studied much further than opening and middlegame. If I have a tournament in a week or two, and I need to cover my endgame problem, this DVD is one of those what I will look for, most likely volume 2 for advanced player. The DVD is about nine hours, so this meant that I could do it within a week. I observed that Grandmaster Nick Pert really an endgame expert. He presents a series of lessons to familiarize players with basic endgame theory. I like the flow of the lectures which were categorized according to rating, from Intermediate to Advanced players. Also, puzzles have been included at the end of each chapter.
Nick also demonstrates his own games, such as when he knows endgame theories that enable him to became a Grandmaster. He discussed the importance of endgame theory by providing real-life examples where superior endgame technique has proved to be decisive. There are some secrets in the endgame in which GM Pert shared in this DVD. I will not divulge any information of this, I recommend you must buy the DVD and see what I mean.
Final verdict: This DVD is a must for any serious tournament player, not only for gaining knowledge of the endgames but especially for acquiring endgame confidence. Thanks to the fantastic endgame ideas which were shared by GM Pert.
Many thanks for sharing this DVD!!

I absolutely love this DVD. Clear Structure, Excellent Teacher, typical Ginger GM.
I’ve got this DVD via the Ginger GM Shop and I feel like everything that is associated with Ginger GM is outstanding.
The structure is nothing new but its very effective, GM Nick Pert breaks down the most important endgames and categorises them into different Elo-Groups.
He builds on the knowledge of the past lecture and gets deeper and deeper into the knowledge of Endgames as the DVD progresses. He always starts with the discussed position and a game by two Grandmasters, explaining the whole concept and technique. Then he gives you exercises to solve and explains the exercise in the following video. He goes far beyond the “basic endgames”.
For example, in the Second part of the DVD he has complicated endgames with rooks, knights and bishops that go far beyond simple knowledge of let’s say opposition. He still makes everything really clear and does a wonderful job with it. This DVD is for everyone, I think. You can never go wrong with some Endgames and can use this to get better of the stage of the chess-game we could all study more.
