John Love is an experienced chess teacher and author. Every position reached in a chess game, from the initial moves to the endgame, contains possibilities which give scope for tactical imagination. The aim of this book, for players beyond the beginning stage who wish to further develop their strength of play, is to sharpen awareness of these possibilities, and to show how they can be used to gain the initiative and control of the board, as well as to win material and to checkmate. Each tactical theme - fork, pin, skewer, discovered attack, overload - is explained and illustrated, with positions for solution which develop the reader's ability to recognise and create opportunities for its use. In the second part of the book, ten games have been chosen and annotated to illustrate how tactical ideas in the minds of the players interact in the struggle of actual play. John Love is an experienced chess teacher and author, whose previous chess books include the innovatory and very popular Chess: A New Introduction. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 150 pages.
