Reviews
"""GM Alexander Galkin is an award-winning coach, not least for his work with Russia's leading juniors. As such, this is not a basic primer on endgame tactics, but one written to help improve the skills of those rated over 1900 and is likely of use to those of up to about 2300 level. The games are largely very recent and feature an assortment of elite players. In general Galkin analyses why the first move made in each case was a mistake, largely because it underestimates the opponent's counterplay and then, after presenting the outcome, returns to the beginning to examine the correct initial continuation.""
