Book Description

Publication Date: September 1996

The ultimate collection of daunting end-games! The challenge -- to achieve checkmate, or mate, in two, three, four, or more moves. Since the end-game is the most important phase of chess, and a good end-game player can vanquish the opening and middle-game specialist, these brilliant brain-teasers will surely help you to become a better player! You'll find endings with Pawns, Rook and Pawns, Queen and Pawn, and minor pieces. For games full of excitement, color, brilliance, and subtlety, look no further. And if you're stumped, or just want to give your brain a break, don't worry, the solutions are in the back.

Any chess enthusiast lucky enough to own this book will find the moves and the answers in perfect harmony - takes seconds to find the answers and it is brilliant in its simplistic format

2.0 out of 5 stars Needs Editing, July 31, 2011

This review is from: 200 Intriguing Chess Puzzles (Paperback)

This looked like a great book when I grabbed it off the shelf at the store, but the solutions are full of errors. Problems 1,2 and 45 have errors that I made notes of, and I know there were others as well. I got so frustrated with the amount of errors that I stopped reading it. It would be a great book if someone would go back and edit it.
