It was clear when working through the easier set of exercises that the author had thought carefully about their sequence since the reader should (we did for sure!) notice the level of difficulty increasing slowly but surely. The solutions themselves are clear and concise and instructional in their own right. - John Upham, British Chess News This second workbook is a part of a new branch on the tree for publishing house Gambit from England. The children's books are popular and John Nunn has now turned to the endgame. ... Each chapter starts with a piece of instruction where the author shows a few nice examples of the concepts that he likes to have reflected in his assignments. - - IM Herman Grooten, schaaksite.nl Under each exercise there are questions ... and that makes it like a real game, where we do have problems, and we solve them answering the right question! Since not all of us can afford private lessons with a GM, we can use this book to do that for us. In my opinion this book is suitable for adults as well. I recommend everyone get a copy, especially if their rating is still around 1500, no matter the age - Davide Nastasio, Georgia Chess News
