Inhaltsangabe

Here is help for those who are tired of studying endgames that never come up in real life! Why is it that most amateur chess players love opening and middle game tactics but hate endgames and why do they usually look at only a couple of pages in any chess endgame theory book they own? Enjoying the entertainment of endgame tactics, and (at least for the moment) forgetting about theoretical positions that seem distant from everyday practice, is the first step towards mastering this important part of the game.

Críticas

"Collections of game positions for solving or instruction are not uncommon. Unfortunately many are computer-generated with cursory instruction or comment added. This is emphatically not the case here. Van Perlo is a Dutch correspondence grandmaster who collected over a period of 30 years tactical end games that appealed to him. He cast his net wide and most of the 1105(!) positions were unknown to the judges. Van Perlo had a good chess eye for attractive situations and wrote about them in a humorous and entertaining manner. Above all he writes with wicked glee about the changes in fortune that lie in wait on the board for all players. The New in Chess team has edited and organised the material so that 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" R B Edwards, J Farrand & J Toothill (08/10/2006)"
