"This is the third edition of a book which has won a number of awards, and I can't help but add my praise.Tal's Super Rooks vs Two Minor Pieces is an absolute joy to read, but my favourite has to be Alekhine's mastery of positions with Queen and Rook vs Queen and Rook. Marin picks out seven examples of Alekhine's mastery of such positions and does a fantastic job of picking out typical ideas and themes. I've never given such endings much thought so a chapter like this gives you a great feeling of learning something fresh!Absolutely recommended – a true 5-star book!" -- GM Matthew Sadler, New in Chess
