Title: What Secrets?
Review: It is difficult to avoid the conclusion that the great reviews about it on this website were written by the author himself. The book is absolute RUBBISH.I have never read a book with so little genuine chess content. The vast majority of the book consists of stupid (and annoying) discussion between the author, and a pupil concerning endgame principles. The trouble is, the discussion is so general and basic as to be meaningless. It only offers basic principles such as "keep your rook active", with little to no practical examples.The book fails to cover numerous key endgame topics, such as pawn structures, pawn breakthroughs, entry squares for the king.The title is completely misleading. The book is limited to basic concepts, which even then, are poorly explained, with very little supporting analysis or examples. The depth of analysis is truly pathetic - frequently no more than one or two lines of play, looking ahead 3-4 moves. If only endgames were this simple.DON'T BUY THIS BOOK.
