Description
Life is too short to play boring chess! This handbook offers an energetic and insightful approach to direct attacking play, drawing from the authors' own practice and their supergrandmaster trainer. By examining manoeuvring, prophylactic thought, and attacks in the endgame, as well as standard topics like play on colour complexes, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the chessboard struggle. The book is packed with advice, study suggestions, and anecdotes, along with quotes and references to philosophy and other 'real-world' topics. You won't find this material explained in the same way elsewhere - it's unique and insightful. Written by two highly-rated Canadian juniors, Michael Song and Razvan Preotu, who have achieved impressive success at a young age. Their approach is based on over-the-board successes that are not just about trickery or bravado, but a profound understanding of the game. With 176 pages of advice and analysis, this handbook is an essential resource for anyone looking to improve their chess skills.
