More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This book is designed to provide the keen chess player with a series of basic examples of chess tactics, and a large number of puzzles which will be of great value as practice exercises. The solution to each puzzle is to be found at the end of the book. The fourteen sections into which the volume is divided deal with all the most significant tactical aspects of the game, including: Knight Forks, The Pin, The Skewer, Discovered Check, Pawn Promotion, and Obstruction and Checkmates by Rooks, Bishops, Knights and the Queen. The greater understanding of the basic elements of the game results from working out the puzzles, helping the player improve his or her game, and provide them with a much better knowledge of how to win games. Solving the puzzles will in addition offer a fascinating pastime. This is a publication which should find a place in every chess player's library.
