If so, then national master Alex Angos has a solution for you in You Move. ..I Win!
Dr. Angos explains how, through the fine art of "zugzwang" (a German chess term), you can set your opponent up for a hopeless position so that no matter what he does, he will lose. Learn the patterns, learn the positions and win.
He also uses several techniques which have remained unknown by many, such as: the Chinese Feet, Bähr's Color Rule, and the Unorthodox Color Opposition.
Join the sages of the ages in this exploration of zugzwang in: pure pawn endings, minor piece endings, endings involving Rooks, endings involving Queens, and finally, a look at the middlegame.
Dr. Angos lives in Milwaukee with his cats Rhea,Patsalou, Max, and Lolita.
His previous work, Endgame Artillery, is now a chess endgame classic.
