This Van Perlo's Endgame Tactics - Modernized and improved edition is an English-language chess book on practical endgame tactics, presented in a modernized and improved edition by Ger van Perlo.
Rather than treating the endgame as a purely technical phase, it uses instructive examples from real play to show how much tactical resourcefulness can still appear when fewer pieces remain on the board. It is aimed at players who want to sharpen their calculation, alertness and ability to find active solutions in simplified positions.
What this book covers
Endgame Tactics centres on tactical themes in chess endgames. Instead of relying on dry patterns alone, it builds its teaching around practical examples that reveal hidden possibilities in positions that may look straightforward at first glance. The result is a focused study aid for anyone working on endgame understanding and tactical awareness.
The book has also been recognised with both ECF Book of the Year and ChessCafe Book of the Year. It is written by Ger van Perlo, the Dutch correspondence grandmaster who spent more than 30 years collecting material on endgame tactics.
