96 Seiten, kartoniert, Thinkers' Press, 1993
Final vergriffen
Tactics are the fun in the game of chess! This book teaches the fundamentals of tactics, with instructions specifically designed to get the reader to use the knowledge in their games.
The subjects covered include:
* recognizing tactical opportunities
* finding candidate moves
* calculating variations
* choosing tactical openings
* psychology
* overcoming obstacles
* practical advice
The reader is encouraged throughout the book to develop his analytical skills through study of realistic positions, then compare his thoughts with the author's analysis. The book concludes with a carefully selected set of problem positions, with very thorough solutions to further develop the tactical skills which win games.
The book provides instruction for both novice and intermediate players.
Someone once said that chess is 99% tactics. They weren't being facetious and they weren't exaggerating. For most players tactics are the most interesting part of the game and the most fun to play.
No single book can cover the entire field. Volumes could be written about attacks on the castled king, for example, without exhausting the subject.
This book focuses on ways of recognizing tactical opportunities during actual play and taking advantage of them by appropriate methods of thinking and calculating.
Part One begins with the basics and then shows in a number of games how tactics arise in and affect various types of positions. You are constantly exhorted, cajoled and challenged to practice techniques and think about ideas that will prove invaluable in your own games.
Part Two contains exercises to test your knowledge of the most important ideas. These will help you turn what you have learned from "passive" information to useful, "active" knowledge.
A few of the subjects covered:
1 recognizing tactical opportunities
2 finding candidate moves
3 calculating variations
4 choosing tactical openings
5 psychology
6 overcoming obstacles
7 practical advice
