This post has been parodied on r/Anarch圜hess. Sure, U1200 games may reach a non-trivial endgame less often than higher-rated players, but "rarely ever" is hilariously wrong. This does not include multiple online classical games that reached endgames, including two in the last couple months where my opponent has blundered a loss out of a drawn KPvK ending (and one where I did the blundering by simplifying to a rook pawn that could be blocked). KNPs (I had the N, traded badly and had to find a stalemate trap), and (e) multiple RvR endings with a variety of pawn imbalances (varying results). Q&4 (I had the 3 but played it well and got lucky), (d) KBPs vs. RP (I had the RP and blundered the rook), (c) Q&3 vs. RPPP (I had the pawns and won), (b) RBP vs. In just my last three OTB tournaments (Nov '20, April '21, June '21), I've had about half my games reach an endgame I'd describe as non-trivial, and I've seen many other games in these tournaments also at the endgame stage. Hi, U1200 player here (actually just crossed that line at my last tournament!). Games at the U1200 level rarely ever reach an endgame I’m not saying it’s the perfect book for everyone, but plenty of 700s will find value in this book. You comparing knowledge of basic endgames to a grandmaster game seems over the top. A 700 who wants to improve can handle that. It has really clear visuals and explanations. These positions have a few pieces max on the board. These things don’t require someone to calculate 5 moves ahead.

I’d say about 50% of the content is well suited for a 700 though.

Yeah it also has some more complex things that are good for a 1200 player like how to deal with opposite color bishops. If you have a knight, bring it towards the center or towards their pawn. Other ideas like bishops can travel across the board better to stop pawns.When each side has a pawn (or 1v2) Teaching someone to bring their king forward and once again reinforcing ideas like the king pawn box.Basic examples of how to put the rook behind the pawn to stop it. This is one of the first things you teach a chess player, right after checkmating with a rook and a Queen. Really basic things like the king/pawn box. Here’s some examples the book covers in depth: This is a really passive aggressive response to my trying to help.
