More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This book begins with a practical step-by-step advanced tactical guide with comprehensive advice on attack, defence, planning ahead and the importance of sacrifice. There are detailed sections on the three key phases of the match - the opening, the middlegame and the endgame - and how to play each to best effect. Follow in the footsteps of grandmasters with immortal games broken down and analysed move-by-move. Advice is given on where to play competitive chess, both in clubs and touraments and against the computer. Different methods of game play are explored; expand your chess horizons with hectic and exciting rapidplay or blitz games, or embrace the importance of taking time over your moves with a slow and stimulating game of correspondence chess.

Format:Paperback
I recently borrowed 'Play Winning Chess' by the same author, in which the game is explained to the novice player.
In that book is a section entitled 'Beyond The Basics', for anyone who knows how to play the game, but needs extra tips to give them the edge. I thought how handy it would be to have the book, but dispense with the earlier chapters for the beginner.
Well, I was quite pleased to discover this book, which does just that: each aspect is lucidly explained with enough diagrams to break up the text, so you don't have to concentrate too hard on what moves have been played.
Also covers sections on Computer Chess, How to Study, and Correspondence Chess.
Recommended.
