326 Seiten, gebunden, Chess Elevation, 2. Auflage 2026, original erschienen 1992
Attack? Defend? Swap pieces? Tactics are the watchdogs of strategy that take advantage of short-term opportunities to trap or ambush your opponent and quite possibly change the course of a game in a single move. Why play in a fog, only hoping that your opponent will blunder, when Grandmaster Yasser Seirawan can show you how to put the tactics of the world’s chess legends to work for you?
Winning Chess Tactics teaches you to choose from the double attack, the pin, the skewer, deflection, the decoy, X-rays, windmills and many more time-tested tactics. With plenty of expertly picked exercises at your disposal, you will get the opportunity to not just learn theoretically about tactics but also get the opportunity to develop your ability in a practical setting.
Winning Chess Tactics is part of Yasser Seirawan’s highly acclaimed Winning Chess series, the bestselling series of chess books ever.
The entire Winning Chess series is fully revised with a modern fresh layout.
- Plan your entire game from the first move.
- Think ahead, step-by-step, anticipating every obstacle your opponent can throw in your way.
- Position yourself for the smashing combination and endgame you’ve always dreamed of.
Yasser Seirawan is one of the top-ranked chess players in the USA and was the first American candidate for the World Championship title since Bobby Fischer. He is a four-time US Champion, the 1989 Western Hemisphere Champion, and a ten-time member of the US Chess Olympiad team. His achievements distinguish him as one of only a handful of players to defeat world champions Garry Kasparov and Anatoly Karpov in tournament play.
