What endgame book to go to after Yassser's "Winning chess endings"?

Hello all

looking for suggestions on the next step in endgame learning. After finishing Yasser Seirawan's endgame book would I be better off concentrating on doing endgame puzzles from a book (Van Perlo or something else?), doing endgame drills against a bot or doing more reading (Silmans manual, 100 Endgames You must know, Fundamental Chess Endings or something else here)?

Is there a lot of overlap between Silmans manual and Seirawans endgame book?

Thanks

Having completed Seirawan's endgame book, as mentioned above the books by Silman, by de la Villa and by Muller & Lamprecht would all be reasonable choices. Of those three, as a folIow-on I would vote for "100 Endgames You Must Know" by Jesus de la Villa, because of the thematic approach the author employs in delineating the specific processes/procedures associated with each of the 100 endgames he covers. Another interesting and reasonable choice, in my estimation, would be "Secrets of Chess Endgame Strategy" by Lars Bo Hansen - the operative word here being 'Strategy'.

Endgame Strategy by Shereshevsky and Silmans Endgame were books I read and enjoyed.

Thanks folks. It does make me wonder how many excellent books are kicking around but don't get read as the common consensus seems to be to just read Silman's book.

I don't understand why you buy so many endgame books? Why not a big encyclopedia? I'm not sure what's current these days. Probably Dvoretsky's endgame manual. This is far too detailed for mere mortals, but then you just jump from chapter to chapter and only look at the first exercises. There are a few special books like "Liquidation on the Chess Board" by Benjamin. That's a nice to have, but not absolutely necessary.

Silman's Complete Endgame Course is an excellent introduction to the subject. That is, it is generally considered to be the most popular, if not the best, first endgame book for the improving chess amateur. The other books that have been mentioned, while also excellent, are more appropriate (IMO) as follow-on's or supplements to Silman's book.

if you like encyclopedia type books, Ruben Fines Basic Chess Endings is still one of my favorites. it is broad enough to give a basic overview of all Endings but compact enough to not be overwhelming.

the best recommendation that I can give for it is that Pal Benko thought it was an important enough work to MEMORIZE!

Thanks folks. Plenty of food for thought here. As an exercise in the ridiculous has anyone figured out what the "101st endgame you must know" is and what the likelihood of ever bumping into it is?

There is an interview with Carlsson on YouTube where they ask him to solve the puzzles.
