Tactical Chess Endings

by John Nunn

From the inside jacket: Books available on the endgame are generally dry reference works, but TACTICAL CHESS ENDINGS deals with a hitherto unexplored aspect of the subject. Tactics occur most frequently in the middle-game, but often the smooth positional flow of an endgame can be interrupted by the appearance of an unexpected tactic. In practice, however, players are not alert to such possibilities and frequently miss their chances.
