Winning Endgame Strategy is the successor to Winning Endgame Technique, a book I haven't seen. With a theme we will hear from a majority of authors, Belyavsky and Mikhalchishin, very strong players, say: "We have devoted a little more attention to methods of play...rather than concrete cases, which is a fault, on the whole, of all books on the endgame." We will see variants on this theme in most of the books on this list! Overall, I think that this is an excellent book, with terrific practical examples and no mistakes that I can find. There are many corrections to the received wisdom about famous endings, and absorbing analysis of games between famous players. Each section begins with simpler positions and ends with more difficult ones, and in the case of some chapters, with exercises. Carefully studying a book like this is arguably the best way to become a good endgame player, but many students will be looking for more structure, i.e., a series of standard elementary endings to begin each chapter. I can't see this as a first book, but anyone who has gone through a very specific course of elementary theory will do well to get a book like this to take their next step into endings study.
