"...one big advantage of Giddins' book is that it's perfect
for when you don't have a lot of time to study. Like when you have 5-10 minutes
to kill while waiting in line at the post office, sitting in the waiting room
at the dentist's office, or any other place where you might be sitting for 5-10
minutes. ... It's perfect for when you don't have a lot of time to study, but
still want to work on improving your endgame. Indeed, if you just did one
lesson per day, after a little more than three months you would have GREATLY
increased your knowledge of how to play all sorts of endings." - Michael
Jeffreys, www.chessville.com
"This is good material to study the endgame and each lesson
can be handled by less experienced players. There are plenty of diagrams so
this book could be used for travel or when you don't have access to a board.
Recommended." - Paul Dunn, Australian Chess
"Many authors teach you how to 'survive' the endgame while
Giddins teaches you to love the endgame ... Explanations are the easiest to
understand I have ever seen ... Choice of examples is excellent - Giddins
teaches the basic through games of modern grandmasters (Kramnik, Ivanchuk,
Timman, Yusupov, Aronian…) combined with games from the classic soviet
masters (Karpov, Smyslov and mostly Botvinnik) ... Analyses are clear and never
tedious ... Read one of these tips everyday. In 101 days you will be a better
chess player. More importantly, you will augment you enjoyment of the game." -
Moshe Rachmuth, chessbug.com
"I believe this book has one main strength … As someone
who has attempted to wade through 'theoretical' endgame books and found the
going tough, I believe this book will help a player who finds learning the
endgame from a structured textbook frustrating. Simply set aside 40 minutes of
your time, flick through the book until you find something which catches your
eye, play through the tip carefully and mark it off on the page as being read.
Thus, the ability to 'dip into' the endgame whenever the mood takes one is a
valuable asset, and one which makes this book worth having. Painless endgame
study - how many endgame books can say that?!" - Munroe Morrison, Open
File
"[Giddins'] stated goal with this text is to provide his
readers with a fundamental grounding in endgame concepts and with this
knowledge in hand, a greater love and appreciation for this phase of the game.
The author nurtures this endgame appreciation by breaking his presentation down
into easy-to-learn segments, with nearly all of his 101 'tips' confined to a
single page of the book. One page - one tip. Most of the positions discussed
come from top-level games." - Steve Goldberg,
www.chesscafe.com
"Instructive for players of all levels" - GM Michael
Adams, Daily Telegraph
"Steve Giddins' no-nonsense advice is dispensed with his
trademark wry humour and easy readability." - John Saunders,
BCM
"What I found particularly good in this book was the clear,
concise explanatory text that accompanies each position. So many endgame books
simply give lists of moves without explaining their purpose. The reasons behind
them may be obvious to GMs but ordinary mortals, at whom the book is clearly
aimed, need to be spoon fed this information, and Giddins does this
particularly well." - Alan Sutton, En Passant
"...this book by Steve Giddins is an excellent place to
start your quest to have a better endgame understanding. As the title says, it
contains 101 Endgame themes and strategems, (among them: 'defying euclid',
'knights hate rooks pawns', 'good bishop versus bad', 'the minority attack'),
which are all explained in simple language, and with illustrative examples.
These are sub-divided into relevant sections: Kings and Pawns, Knights,
Bishops, Knight vs Bishop, Rooks, Queens, Strategy and Technique. The author
does not waffle, but cuts to the chase, stating the points and strategies of
each theme and position so that you can confidently approach them in your play.
What I like about this book, also, is that it does not just deal with attack
and winning, but also how to defend and not miss theoretical draws. I
thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, and found it very instructive and
practical. I recommend it because I am sure that players of all ages and levels
will benefit from reading it." - John Lee Shaw,
www.chessgateway.com
"...seldom I have seen such a entertaining read on endgames
as this one from Steve Giddins! ... Buy it for the super instructive endgame
notes!" - John Elburg, www.chessbooks.nl
"Extremely instructive. Steve Giddins writes with a clarity
that serves the subject well." - Michael Blake,
