Best book for pawn endgames at my level??

Hi,

When I lose, it is predominantly in the endgame. I'm able to get a +3< advantage in the middlegame and just blow it in the endgame, hence I am making this topic. 

Thanks in advance

You are a Platinum member. There are several series of lessons on pawn endgames available to you.

The lessons and drills in here are helpful. I also use Silman's Complete Endgame course in combination with free endgame courses on Chessable. I find their spaced repetition and review tools very helpful for learning techniques. Basic principles such as king activity and piece improvement remain important, as do tactics, pawn structure, and its helpful to recognise that past pawns increase in strength as they advance.

Rook endings are more important than pawn endings.
The best endgame books are "Dvoretzky's Endgame Manual'" by Dvoretzky and "Fundamental Chess Endings" by Karsten Müller.

Specific for pawn endings "The Final Countdown" by van Riemsdijk & Hajenius is good.
