Summary:
"A comprehensive book from the Swedish International Master Thomas Engqvist for understanding the
most
important
tactical
chess
positions
in the opening of a game, the middle game and the endgame. It cuts to the chase on the must useful
tactical
positions
at each stage of the game. Knowing the
positions
is one thing but this experienced coach shows you how to create them, even out of nothing, in the spirit of Tal and Alekhine. It covers other
important
facets of
tactical
play, including calculation (how to calculate with the help of stepping stones), attacking play such as defence and counter attack, and even psychological tactics. Each numbered position can be seen as a test-yourself quiz (with answers given below the diagrams) to help cement
tactical
understanding. Since it's advisable to revise the
positions
from time to time, this book can be your life-long companion, enabling you to dramatically increase your
tactical
chess
understanding. The perfect guide for players who want to reach a higher level but don't have time to spend hours every week on less productive study."--From publisher.
