A reasonable book on the chess endgames, with some significant amount of time looking at the quite common variety of king and pawn endings.

Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. x+166 pages with diagrams. Octavo (8" x 5") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. First published by David McKay in 1953. Modern Ideas was published in 1953 so the term "modern" is somewhat relative in this case. I'm not sure from when the term originated, but these days it really just describes a particular era in chess history rather than a proclamation of anything new to the chess world. An interesting part of this book is what Horowitz refers to as "chess movies." These are chess games that are narrated both in text and images with the snapshots of the board displaying positions after every few moves of the players. This is quite useful and very effective. The reader needs to visualize only a few moves between each snapshot, so it's a fairly simple act to follow along without having to resort to a board or computer program. As a side benefit, even if you are playing along with a board and chess set, life is made a bit easier by way of the "movie frames" as you can quickly be sure that you haven't made any errors at the board and easily correct any mistakes that you do make.
