The Chess Attacker's Handbook (Paperback)

(Sun May 26 08:46:58 2024) | AbebooksUK | CitiRetail | ISBN10: 1911465163, ISBN13: 9781911465164, [publisher: Gambit Publications Ltd, London] Softcover Paperback. Life is too short to play boring chess! That's the mantra of the two young authors of this book, and as you read their energetic and insightful words, you may find yourself caught up in their enthusiasm for direct attacking play. Their over-the-board successes are not based on mere bravado or trickery, but on a profound understanding of the chessboard struggle and thought process. Song and Preotu consider the role of manoeuvring and prophylactic thought, and examine attacks in the endgame, as well as more standard topics such as play on colour complexes and when and how to launch the pawns in an all-out assault. And because life's too short to read a boring chess book, the text is packed with advice, study suggestions and anecdotes as well as quotes and references to philosophy and other 'real-world' topics. Their examples are drawn from their own practice and their supergrandmaster trainer, as well as modern classics and older gems. Most of their material you will not have seen before; the rest you will not have seen explained this way before. A book by two young Canadian chess stars on how to attack in chess. They draw examples from their own games as well as modern classics and older gems. Their successes are based on a profound understanding of the chessboard struggle and thought process. They consider the role of manoeuvring and prophylactic thought, as well as more standard topics.
