In this test book, the authors have compiled 120 instructive tasks that are presented to the reader/solver in diagram form, each with three suggested answers using the multiple choice method. A detailed discussion of all positions follows. For the examples, most of which (2/3) are taken from the area of ​​endgame study, the authors have primarily selected practical positions, with tactical and combinatorial aspects being the main focus. They are therefore suitable for noticeably improving the player's skills in the area of ​​endgame management and, in particular, in the perception of hidden tactical possibilities, provided that he is prepared to do serious analytical work. This training will enable him to deal with critical endgame situations on the board with greater skill and success.

The book contains an introductory chapter on the handling and evaluation of the tests as well as a concluding index of names.
