Kasprov's Winning Chess Tactics

By Bruce Pandolfini

Book Overview

From America's foremost chess coach and game strategist for Netflix's The Queen's Gambit comes a superbly crafted compendium of brilliant strategies fans can use to measure their skills against the champion, improve their game, or simply have fun.

As the youngest world champion ever, Gary Kasparov inspires new chess fans and experienced players alike with his brilliant grasp of tactics. Running the gamut from simple forks and pins to subtle maneuvers and deep combinations, it is his tactical brilliance that catapulted Kasparov to the top.

This tactical chess bible traces the world champion's development from school days to world-class competition, analyzing both the actual moves and traps or dead-ends he or his opponent sidestepped in more than 140 carefully selected tournament positions. Includes a glossary and index of individual tactics allowing players to bone up on any specific weakness in the game.

Chess Tactics Clearly Explained

One of Pandolfini's better works, Kasparov's Winning Chess Tactics really is instructive and fun to read. I am not a fan of Pandolfini. His books are mainly for the extreme novices, I know, but even so, they all seem so "gimmicky." Oh well, I don't want to be a snob but I will relay this bit of trivia: I've never heard anyone, in any club, tournament, or chat group, speak positvely of his Fireside series. However, this is worth buying if you can get it cheap.
