Endgame of the year, 2017

With Magnus Carlsen, the art of the endgame has renewed importance. Where in the past many endgames might have ended in a draw, the current world champion plays on and shows that you can find ways to win even the most seemingly drawn positions.

The endgame primer of the young Magnus Carlsen was the textbook by Karsten Mueller and Frank Lamprecht. Since then, Mueller has risen to become the world's leading endgame expert with his many publications on the endgame, books and DVDs. Hardly an endgame is played that goes unnoticed by the Hamburg grandmaster.

Every two months, Mueller presented the best endgame in the ChessBase Magazine. Out of all these, he has picked six which he considers to be the best endgames of the year. Choose your favorite:
