Van Perlo's Endgame Tactics: A Comprehensive Guide to the Sunny Side of Chess Endgames Review: Wow! and Unexpected! - wow, great shape for a used book and a nice card included thanking me for my purchase. I think there was even a perfume to it! No complaints here! Thank you for my book! Much appreciated! Review: Most if not all of the positions involve some type of unusual circumstances where one side can do better than you might expect a - The price initially gave me pause, but I have no regrets in purchasing this. This could be characterized as a masterpiece. Most if not all of the positions involve some type of unusual circumstances where one side can do better than you might expect at first glance, but I still found myself having to clear out the cobwebs on the positional handling of various types of endgames in order to rule out certain lines or address certain deficiencies in my endgame understanding. In this regard, I am learning a lot as I go through this. Many of these remind me of the sometimes subtle distinction between tactical and positional play. These are not always tactics in the traditional sense of involving checks, captures, and threats, but they are certainly forcing lines. But there is a lot of subtlety. This is certainly not a book for folks who do not already have some understanding of basic chess endings. For example, you need to know a fair amount already about basic K+P vs K+P endgames, although you can use this as I have to shore up deficiencies.

A strength of this book is the very limited use of variations, if they are used at all.
This is the best book for learning endgames if you’re not a grandmaster. I have read three of the major endgame books - by Fine, Keres, Dvoretsky - and this Perlo gem was the most entertaining and easiest to remember.

This is excellent
I'm only 20 problems into 1400 total but I can already see that this is going to be one of my favorite endgame books.

Ottimo libro di test scacchistici a livelli

Ein ungewöhliches Buch über Endspiele, das viele Aspekte kombiniert: taktische Raffinessen, schlaue Tricks und herrliche Beispiele von Kampfeswillen (nach dem Tarterkowerschen Motto "Man gibt Briefe und Pakete auf, aber keine Schachpartien"), alles basierend auf klassischen Endpielwissen, aber eben ungeheuer unterhaltsam. Jedes Diagramm eine Anekdote.

Uma jóia para os amantes do xadrez e que desejam se aprofundar na arte. Imperdível.
