Product Description
Shortlisted for the Guardian 2010 Chess Book of the Year Award! With refreshing simplicity, Coffeehouse Chess Tactics shows how to turn bad, even seemingly hopeless positions to our advantage. How to distinguish the essential from the trivial. How to adapt according to the situation on the board. Each game sparkles with some unusual tactical or defensive motif. Along with the games the author describes in eloquent but brutal language the beautiful, sometimes terrible, world of chess where sport, art and science merge. Where adrenalin gives such a high. Where hours pass, many, many of them so that we do not know what time it is any more! Fascinating and compelling, 'Coffeehouse Chess Tactics' takes the reader on an astonishing trip into the world of competitive chess. Shortlisted for the Guardian 2010 Chess Book of the Year Award!

I really like this book. The first part sets the scene of Coffeehouse chess and then the remainder of the book shows how to use some useful tactics to help you win. I have tried a few of them myself. Its well written not too long and can be enjoyed without a chessboard unlike many chess books.
