About this product
Product Information
This is the new and substantially expanded edition of a modern chess classic. Upon its publication in 2006, Van Perlo's Endgame Tactics won the two most prestigious book awards in the chess world, as it was elected both the English Chess Federation Book of the Year and the ChessCafe Book of the Year. By chance, in 2013 publisher New In Chess discovered an unexpected treasure trove, a previously unpublished further batch of endgame tactics collected by Dutch correspondence grandmaster Ger van Perlo (1932-2010). In this new edition of Van Perlo's Endgame Tactics more than 300 fresh examples have been added, making this fourth edition 25% bigger than its predecessors. Why has Van Perlo's Endgame Tactics been such a fantastic success? To begin with because it made many regular chess players appreciate for the first time that endings are fun. Secondly, because you always work harder at something you enjoy, it actually improves your endgame play. You, too, can make the first step towards improving your endgame skills and beat more opponents by learning to love the endgame. Why is it that you usually look at only a couple of pages in any endgame theory book you see? You'll find out here. Sit back, forget about theoretical endgames, and enjoy the entertainment of real life chess in Endgame Tactics! ,

Reviews
The instruction indeed comes with a spoonful of sugar. It cannot but help to improve your chess, painlessly, even enjoyably. The annotations are light and sometimes quite witty., There is considerable instructional content in the book. But the winning factor for the judges was the sheer entertainment value. 2006 Book of the Year Award., This book has several tactical twists and turns on each page, which should convince you that the endgame is definitely more interesting than you probably imagined, and it is a phase where many half points can be picked up - or thrown away., A fantastic collection of endgame positions from actual play. Van Perlo's respect for the game, his delight in every little twist, is undeniable. And it is infectious., It is hard to believe that a simple collection of endgame positions could be so entertaining but Van Perlo's sardonic comments give the book a unique flavor., Did the theme "endings" always seem a bit dusty to you? Thanks to Van Perlo it really starts (perhaps for you for the first time?) to really shine., As a coach, I definitely understand the importance of beefing up my juniors' endgame skills. However I also realized that chess endgame studies are the last thing that truly excites them. Thus, instead of starting them on endgame principles, it only made sense to start them off by showing them the sunny side of endgames: the tactical fireworks., An irresistible collection of more than 1,300 endgame tricks and traps. A superb book, highly instructive., The most enjoyable endgame book I've ever read. I've always loved tactics books, and this is the first endgame book I've ever encountered with this approach. Middlegame tactics books like this helped me reach master level; I wonder how far an endgame tactics book could have helped me go? I never found endgames as much fun to study (till now)., All chess life is here: brilliant wins, amazing draws and not infrequently defeat snatched from the jaws of victory.
