In this book, German-English Grandmaster Mieses has selected 30 instructive and interesting endgames played in top tournaments in the period up to 1900. The games feature the top players of the time, including World Champions Lasker and Steinitz, as well as top players such as Morphy, Pillsbury, Tarrasch, Chigorin, Zukertort and several others, including the author himself.

Jakob Mieses was born in 1865 in Leipzig, Germany. He enjoyed a long lasting professional chess career of 64 years. Mieses played in numerous tournaments throughout his life, and was known and studied as having a very aggressive, and at the same time, rather traditional playing style.

All of the games and analyses have been re-examined by FIDE Master & FIDE Trainer Carsten Hansen, adding new insights to these classic games.

The material is split into six chapters, covering most of the typical of endgame types.
