Review: Most if not all of the positions involve some type of unusual circumstances where one side can do better than you might expect a - The price initially gave me pause, but I have no regrets in purchasing this. This could be characterized as a masterpiece. Most if not all of the positions involve some type of unusual circumstances where one side can do better than you might expect at first glance, but I still found myself having to clear out the cobwebs on the positional handling of various types of endgames in order to rule out certain lines or address certain deficiencies in my endgame understanding. In this regard, I am learning a lot as I go through this. Many of these remind me of the sometimes subtle distinction between tactical and positional play. These are not always tactics in the traditional sense of involving checks, captures, and threats, but they are certainly forcing lines. But there is a lot of subtlety. This is certainly not a book for folks who do not already have some understanding of basic chess endings. For example, you need to know a fair amount already about basic K+P vs K+P endgames, although you can use this as I have to shore up deficiencies. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,523,451 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,183 in Chess (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (89) | | Dimensions | 6.65 x 1.55 x 9.23 inches | | Edition | Expanded ed. | | ISBN-10 | 9056914944 | | ISBN-13 | 978-9056914943 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 608 pages | | Publication date | July 7, 2014 | | Publisher | New in Chess | | Reading age | 5 years and up | ## Images ![Van Perlo's Endgame Tactics: A Comprehensive Guide to the Sunny Side of Chess Endgames - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61d2uAJrcrL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow! and Unexpected! *by V***S on February 23, 2026* wow, great shape for a used book and a nice card included thanking me for my purchase.

I have read three of the major endgame books - by Fine, Keres, Dvoretsky - and this Perlo gem was the most entertaining and easiest to remember. ## Frequently Bought Together - Van Perlo's Endgame Tactics: A Comprehensive Guide to the Sunny Side of Chess Endgames - Silman's Complete Endgame Course: From Beginner to Master - Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/8940350-van-perlos-endgame-tactics-a-comprehensive-guide-to-the-sunny](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/8940350-van-perlos-endgame-tactics-a-comprehensive-guide-to-the-sunny) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-10*
