This book is without doubt the most enjoyable chess book that I have ever owned.

Ger Van Perlo, i want to personally thank you for creating such an absolute masterpiece on paper. This book has not only expanded my knowledge, but added a sense of Depth to my life. I can finally say that there is reason to live, after studying all the numerous endgame possibilities i believe to have achieved a higher understanding of Chess and Endgames. Van Perlo’s book has saved me from falling into this endless void, although we learn how to counteract in endgames, i feel as if Life itself is an endgame. We are provided only one opportunity to succeed or fail and that knowledge is worth more than any Chess game. Thank you Van Perlo for Changing my life.

This came highly recommended. The quality however, is rather mixed. There is not much, here. I suspect Dvoretsky's material, perhaps Mueller, and Nunn is better to work with. Not recommended.
