Book Reviews of Pandolfini's Chess Challenges: 111 Winning Endgames
Book Review: Good little book
Summary: 4 Stars
A nice little puzzle book that stands out from the rest. This book's puzzles are designed with the endgame in mind so there are usually not many chess pieces in the puzzle. This book may not help your endgame per say but it did teach me that even when the board looks hopelessly empty, drawish or lost ... there may be a surpise winning move that can change everything. This is the only chess puzzle book that has helped me open my mind to other possiblilites. It's also a nice small book you can take on the go. Each puzzle has a rating difficulty also.
