Let an international chess master show you the excitement and suspense that explains why chess is called the game of all games , With the help of many easy-to-understand diagrams and step-by-step examples of the rules and strategies, you`ll quickly be ready for action. Basic knowledge of how to go on the attack, defend yourself, and start early to move towards checkmate gets you going. Then see how to play the most important combination motifs such as double-chess and neutralizing moves, as well as the most important strategic approaches for each chess figure. Special sections cover opening, middle- and end-game tactics. Ready to play? Each of the six sample matches, which take you from beginning to end, move by move, shows you the most crucial situations you`re likely to encounter. The last section, a Final Test, demonstrates how to select moves that best enforce your position as you learn to see the whole match at once . AUTHOR: Annette Englander
