Its an excellent book, and i use it all the time. Dont get caught up in the "stronger engines" thing. Engines are bad at endings. Its endgame table bases that are used to check endings.
Fundamental Chess Endings
"... the stronger you are the more you will get from [Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual]. In my own teaching to average players I am still using Mueller and Lamprecht's Fundamental Chess Endings, which has a wonderful balance between Encyclopaedic coverage (I can find almost anything), examples that can be shortened at most points, and clear explanations that bring together endings of the same sort. To me it provides a simpler method for giving students both information and a sense of why they are proceeding as they are. In either case, it seems to me, a teacher's guidance is preferable, but lacking it I would like to see students learning the fundamentals in a systematic and comprehensible way." - IM John Watson (2005)
