Description

An International Master's instructive guide to essential tactical strategies and positions in chess.  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 most 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.
