Sutherland M.A., Lommer H.M. 1234 Modern End-Game Studies

New York: Dover Publications, 1968. — 380 p.There is one feature of this book which makes it vastly superior to its predecessors. The algebraic notation is used and is used in its most commonsense form. From a purely scientific standpoint, the use of the most abbreviated form of the algebraic notation which merely gives the starting square and the finishing square and makes no special note of captures might have been more logical. Admitted that its use is perhaps an experiment with the present work, but End-Game composition is closely allied to Problem composition, and problemists use an almost identical form of notation to that adopted in the present work.
