Author Information

German grandmaster Karsten Muller is arguably the world's foremost writer on chess endgames. Whenever an interesting endgame occurs in a high-level game, the chess world knows that it will soon be dissected and explained by Muller. Whether writing for a low-level or high-level audience, his infectious zeal for the endgame shines through. His 'masterwork', Fundamental Chess Endings (co-authored with Frank Lamprecht, and also published by Gambit) is a modern endgame 'bible' and was studied intensively by current World Champion Magnus Carlsen in his youth.
