by Ger Van Perlo (Author)

THE MOST ENJOYABLE CHESS ENDGAME BOOK

This is a fully modernised and updated edition of a contemporary chess classic, winner of both the ECF and ChessCafe Book of the Year Awards.

As one wise grandmaster put it, there is no substitute for hard work if you want to improve at chess. But you work hardest--and learn fastest--when you are enjoying yourself. Endgame Tactics will teach you to love the endgame, and as a result, your endgame play will improve almost automatically.

Far from being dry or technical, endgames are rich in tactical ideas and hidden resources. Drawing on instructive examples from everyday practice, Endgame Tactics shows that the endgame is not only essential, but genuinely fun.
