Chess tactics are not as clear-cut as tactics puzzles suggest. Sometimes tactics work, and sometimes they don't. Sometimes your opponent has a few tricks up their sleeve, too. This book explores a chess player's challenges over the board: attack, defense, and counterattack! American grandmaster Joel Benjamin, a three-time U.S. Champion, shows you the give-and-take nature of tactics and will prepare you for a real game.
Joel Benjamin won the US Championship three times and has been a trainer for almost three decades. His book Liquidation on the Chess Board won the Best Book Award of the Chess Journalists of America (CJA), and his most recent book Better Thinking, Better Chess is a world-wide bestseller.
