About this product
 
Enjoying endgame tactics is the all-important (but oft-forgotten) first step in mastering this important phase of the game. Endgames are actually fun.

Why is it that most amateur chess players love opening and middle game tactics but hate endgames? Why do they usually look at only a couple of pages in any chess endgame theory book they own? Working through theoretical endgame lessons can seem like a chore if you don't see the fun of it. Endgame Tactics is an affordable guide that reduces the psychological burden of endgame instruction by showing that endgames are actually quite enjoyable – because of the tactics!

There is no substitute for hard work in getting better at chess, but the fact of the matter is that we always work harder at something we love. By enjoying the entertainment of real life endgame tactics, and (at least for the moment) forgetting about theoretical positions that seem distant from everyday practice, the amateur player learns to love the endgame. Endgames are fun, and Endgame Tactics proves it.

Van Perlo's Engame Tactics August 29, 2007
Reviewer: Pierre Espenan from South Pasadena, CA United States  
This book received the English Chess Federation book of the year award.  It is well organized with the most common endgames.  I would recommend this book.  However, the book was not checked with a tablebase as diagram 287 on page 135 shows.  White's first move, 1 b6 did not throw away the win, but move 4 Kb3? did. Black returns the error with 4...Rh3+? Perlo says "consult the manuals", he should have said "consult the tablebases".
