Mandler Artur, Beasley John. Depth and Beauty. The chess endgame studies of Artur Mandler

UK: Independent edition, 2003. — 130 p.Artur Mandler (1891-1971) was one of the giants of 20th-century chess endgame study composition; he had a mastery of the natural endgame study which has perhaps been equalled only by his friend Richard Reti and the famous Russian composer Nikolai Grigoriev. But whereas there have been several editions of the work of Reti and Grigoriev, Mandler's has been collected only in his book "Studie" (Praha, 1970), and this is now difficult to obtain even in its country of origin. The present volume makes it conveniently available to readers worldwide. It contains the studies in "Studie" with a translation into English of Mandler's perceptive and illuminating commentary, and the whole is supplemented by notes based on the results of modern computer examination.
