In this book Grandmaster Ray Keene traces the development of combinational thought from the early days of chess events up to the reign of world champion Anatoly Karpov.

He was awarded the OBE for services to chess in 1985. He is Chess Correspondent of The Times, The Sunday Times, The Spectator, and The International Herald Tribune.

how to win with combination play,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Chess Combination from Philidor to Karpov (Hardinge Simpole Chess Classics) (Paperback)
this book is written by a real chess expert-so many chess books nowadays are written by people who have no real playing credentials who gather information from chess databases. the author here is a grandmaster and former british champion and by taking historical examples of the best combinations ever played in chess he teaches the reader how to pull off such coups in his or her own games.after reading this book you will see there is a pattern to combinations and sacrifices-they do not just mysteriously appear from nowhere as if by magic. if you want to become more dangerous to your chess opponents then this is the book for you!
