I have compiled a very interesting database recently which consists of various endgames (over 5 themes) ONLY from World Champions’ games. Of course, games have been analysed. So far there are 50 games and the database costs US$ 10. Send an e-mail to [email protected] if you have any questions about the database or anything else.
