Endgame Tactics: A Comprehensive Guide to the Sunny Side of Chess Endgame (Paperback)
by Van Perlo
Enjoying endgame tactics is the all-important, but oft-forgotten, first step in mastering this highly important phase of the game."Endgame Tactics" is an accessible, entertaining, and award-winning volume that shows readers how to put the fun back into endgame tactics - and by doing so, Van Perlo has turned many players' nightmares into a stimulating and enjoyable tactic. The winner of the English Chess Federation Book of the Year 2006 Award, this volume is an absolute must for players of all levels.
This book teaches basic tactical ideas such as the fork, pin, and discovered attack, and introduces general ideas such as elimination, immobilization and compulsion. A basic knowledge of simple tactics will enable a novice to start winning games, by giving checkmate or capturing material. As the player progresses, his tactical arsenal will broaden, and he will start to play sacrifices and combinations, and develop a deeper understanding of the game. Players who fail to study tactics systematically tend to suffer from tactical blind-spots that plague them throughout their playing career, and thus they fail to realize their full potential.

by Sam Palatnik and Lev Alburt
Chess Tactics for the Tournament Player is the third volume in Grandmaster Lev Alburt's Comprehensive Chess Course Series. Endorsed by world champion Garry Kasparov as revealing "the once-secret Russian method of chess training", the first two volumes used only materials that worked well in the former U.S.S.R. Five-time U.S. chess champion GM Larry Evans calls the current book "a highly instructive primer on tactics". It contains hundreds of strikingly beautiful positions arranged by difficulty and designed to sharpen tactical recognition and vision.
