Endgame Books for 1363 FIDE

The Silman book is very popular with many posters here (and not popular with a few others). I think it's a good book. I don't know anything about your other book.

I enjoy books by GM Yasser Seirawan and have several by him including, "Winning Chess Endings". I would highly recommend this book, especially since it is very easy to read and has great examples and advice.

Everyone has their favourite books, of course, so be prepared for many replies. But at least check out Seirawan's book, and perhaps a few other of his books. Good luck! 

"... I believe that Jeremy Silman's Silman’s Complete Endgame Course ... deserved strong consideration for the 2007 ECF Book of the Year award; see the two books above. ... I'm convinced that Silman's book will take its place in history as one of the most popular endgame books ever. It has already caught on with the average player in a big way, confirming Silman's status as the king of instructional writers. He writes in a clear and casual style, and time and again has shown the ability to reach those who feel intimidated by the lofty approach that a grandmaster will often take. ... Silman ... defines what he thinks is necessary to know at specific rating levels. For example, the beginner or unrated player needs to know ... Silman's idea is to wait until you climb in strength before you worry about more advanced material. Then, as a Class 'E' player (that's 1000-1199), one must learn ... Silman's book emphasizes to the student that the important thing is to master the strictly limited material at hand, rather than get confused by endings that won't help your results at that level. Perhaps even more importantly, Silman is able to use his teaching experience and talk to his readers in a way that they can handle, in a friendly manner and without condescension. ..." - IM John Watson (2007)

The Silman ending book and these two will give you a solid base. Do all positions up to rook endings in this course https://www.chessable.com/course/6371/ . Watch the videoes in the second linkhttps://www.chessable.com/course/90/ , then solve them. Then you tackle the rook endings in the first link and continue till the end.  Both courses is free and a good way to learn since you have to remember the moves and move the damn moves three times 😀 The author of that endgamebook/course recommends the same order as I did since the Rook endings is a bit more advanced than the positions in the second link.

John Bartholomew has already done an introduction to rook endings. I suggest you work through that repertoire first.

The positions here are supplemental - sometimes more advanced, other times simply here because I like them.

"... A lot of elementary endgame theory is familiar, and can be found in numerous endgame books. I decided not to include any of this basic endgame theory in [Nunn's Chess Endings], ... Instead, I collected together all the necessary prerequisites and made Understanding Chess Endgames ... out of it. ..." - GM John Nunn (2010)

I own both books.  I recommend to try Silman's book first.  If after working with it you find that it is not enough for you, then you can get De la Villa's book.  But Silman's book should be sufficient - it's very good and more than comprehensive enough for players rated below 2000.

"... if you have just learned to play, all you need to study is the section [of Silman's Complete Endgame Course] designed for beginners (Part One). After mastering the material there, put the book away and spend your time studying tactics and a few strategic concepts. Once ... you feel you're ready to break into class 'E', re-open this book and master the material that's been designed for players rated from 1000 to 1199 (Part Two), then repeat this process as you move up the rating ladder. ..." - IM Jeremy Silmam (2007)

So, by Silman's thinking, it might make sense for espiritukent to go as far as page 88 in Silman's book.

sorry but i consider those books better for a 1364 far  too advanced
