Thanks to a renowned editorial team of masters and grandmasters, Gambit now has over 170 chess titles in print, and half a million Gambit chess books have been sold. Our books for beginners and club-level players use effective training techniques to make improving easy and fun.
Few books present a structured approach to tactics, so this book fills a valuable niche in the ambitious player’s library. The authors present each major tactical theme in turn, explaining how it works and providing inspiring examples. They then explain how you can spot the idea in your own games and use it to your advantage. You immediately get a chance to put your knowledge to the test, as there are challenging exercises throughout the whole book, with detailed solutions. The second part of the book offers more advanced material, and takes us inside the professional’s tactics laboratory. Here we see how tactical themes are combined, and employed to achieve strategic goals.
