Ingrain These Brilliant Endgame Tactics
Deep Into Your Game!

Simply put, these tactics are the practical applications of the endgame principles you’ve been taught. They transform the vague ideas you’ve seen in books or videos into concrete combinations!

For example:

You know that passed pawns are your primary win-condition. But did you know you can create one out of nowhere, even in symmetrical positions? Chapter 2 shows you how.

Rook activity reigns supreme in endgames, right?

That’s why sacrificing pawns — even when you’re down to scraps — can pave the way for your rook’s final blow. See this tactic in action in chapter 9.

And those ‘pure’ opposite-colored bishops? Their extreme drawing tendencies are no secret.

So you keep the queens on the board. Then you hammer the squares your opponent’s bishop can’t defend — as shown in chapter 5.

This is the type of game-winning, tactical decision-making you’ll develop in Van Perlo’s Endgame Tactics. And Oleksiyenko is the ideal teacher for the job.
