In dem Begriff "Endspieltechnik" wird schon deutlich, daß die beiden Großmeister in ihrem Werk mehr vermitteln wollen als eine Ansammlung von Theoriestellungen mit dem Aufkleber "gewonnen", "verloren" oder "remis". Wer das Endspiel gut behandeln will, muß nicht zuletzt die Methoden beherrschen, wie man in komplizierteren Fällen die bekannten Theoriestellungen anstrebt, und dazu muß er fleißig üben.
Die Kapitel über Bauernendspiele, Turmendspiele oder Läuferendspiele zeigen instruktive Beispiele, die überwiegend der aktuellen Meisterpraxis entnommen sind.
Weitere Abschnitte des Buches sind noch anspruchsvoller. Da geht es um "ungelöste" Positionen wie das Rätsel von Duchamp, um das Endspiel Turm, g+f-Bauer gegen Turm und h-Bauer oder um das Endspiel mit Springer, h- und f-Bauer gegen Läufer.
Ein 18seitiges Kapitel widmet sich dem Endspiel mit Turm, Springer und vier Bauern gegen Turm, Läufer und drei Bauern auf einem Flügel. Die Situation kommt nicht oft vor, und die Autoren können keine sicheren Regeln formulieren, aber schaden wird es sicher niemandem, sich die Analysen einzuverleiben. Es sind eben Fingerübungen, wie bei den Pianisten.
