I've heard it said that "All chessplayers eventually come to appreciate the importance of endgames. Some of us take longer than others." Until recently I avoided any tyoe of endgame study because I said it was boring. The books were just not clear enough
I have now spent sometime studying endgames in a new way and find it now to be one of the most interesting parts of my study program. I purchased a copy of GM Mueller Dvd "Endgame 1: Basic knowledge for beginners.
This DVD is an excellent way to learn Basic Endgame data (there are currently 7 Dvd in this servies for +35 hours of instruction).
At first Karsten appears uncomfortable in his new role as a presenter but by the time he gets to the middle of the Pawn Endings’ section, he is in his element. Then he starts using flourishes and voice inflections to generate some variety into his presentation. Also, he is quite adept at using different color schemes for denoting squares or movement arrows. He is a good student of ChessBase's bells and whistles.

I highly recommend this dvd for endgame study. I think this combined with a very strong chess engine to play against is really helping me.
