ENDGAME TACTICS

"There is considerable instructional content in the book. But the winning

factor for the judges was the sheer entertainment value - a rare

commodity in the chess world these days."

From the Judges' Report, the English Chess Federation's 2006 Book of the Year Award

"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."

Don Aldrich, ChessToday

"A marvellous book. Recommended for every club player."

Jules Welling, Schaaknieuws

"A fantastic collection of endgame positions rom actual play. Van Perlo's

respect for the game, his delight in every little twist, is undeniable.

And it is infectious."

Glenn Petersen at ChessCafe

"An irresistible collection of more than 1,100 endgame

ticks and traps. A superb book, highly instructive."

Paul Motwani, The Scosman

"Quite a powerul book. It does not wish to drill, it just wishes to entertain.

And it does!"

Gerhard Josten, Rochade Europa

"A colouful mix of combinations, tricks, blunders, instructional examples

and curiosities. An unusual chess book with a vey special charm."

S chach Magazine

"All chess life is here: brilliant wins, amazing draws and not inrequently

defeat snatched rom the jaws of victory."

British Chess Magazine

"A milestone in achievement for the endgame."

Bob Long, Thinkers Press

"Really excellent work. Very suitable for the vast majority of chess players

who want to improve."

Andrew Martin on ChesBase Radio

"The thing's addictive! ( ...) You can absorb undamental lessons

while being entertained."

John Watson, The Week In Chess

'As a coach, I deinitely understand the importance of beefing up my

juniors' endgame skills. However I also realised 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 ireworks."

Edwin Lam, ChessMate Magazine

"Destined to achieve classic status."

Chess Life

"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 lavour."

Ian Rogers, Sun-Herald

"I recommend this book very strongly and urge you to improve your play

by reading it from cover to cover."

Eric Schiller

"Excellent."

Alex Baburin, Chess Today

"An entertaining romp trough more than 1,100 examples of

endgame tricks and traps."

Douglas Bryson, S cotland on Sunday

"A wonderful book."

John Donaldson

"Did the theme 'endings' always seem a bit dusty to you? Thanks to Van

Perlo it really sts (perhaps for you for the first time?) to shine."

Peter Doggers, ChessVibes

"his book has several tactical twists and tuns on each page, which should

convince you that the endgame is deinitely more interesting

than you probably imagined, and it is a phase

where many half points can be picked up -or thrown away."

im Harding, The Kibitzer

"The most enjoyable endgame book I've ever read. I've always loved tactics

books, and his is the first endgame book I've ever encountered with this

approach. Middlegame actics books like this helped me reach master level; I

wonder how fr an endgame tactics book could have helped me go? I never

found endgames as much un to study (till now)."

Hal Bogner, Chess Magnet S chool

'There are 1,105 examples of endgame tricks and clever traps that prove it's

worth staying alert, even in the late stages of the game."

Mark Donlan, Chess Horizons

"During three years (1999-2002) I spent four aftenoons a week as a chess

instructor in the 'Penitenciana', he convict prison in Lisbon. As you can

imagine, the atmosphere in there is not like paradise, but all I can remember

is that many times the prisoners and I laughed our heads off while playing

through the positions of Van Perlo's collection."

Rini Luyks, chess coach, Lisbon, Portugal
