A good overview of mating patterns with exercises。 It's well written and I don't doubt it could serve as a first attacking manual to beginner players， given that most of the mating patterns involve some attack on the castled position。 It contains numerous example games and positions with the explanation on the significance of the moves。My edition is written in descriptive notation， which is not a problem since all the text moves are clearly separated （each in its own line）。 For those who find de A good overview of mating patterns with exercises。 It's well written and I don't doubt it could serve as a first attacking manual to beginner players， given that most of the mating patterns involve some attack on the castled position。 It contains numerous example games and positions with the explanation on the significance of the moves。My edition is written in descriptive notation， which is not a problem since all the text moves are clearly separated （each in its own line）。 For those who find descriptive notation prohibitive， there is a new edition in algebraic。 。。。more

This book truly examines chess and brilliant moves from an artistic point of view。 Artists are not all chess players; however， all chess players are artists。

Contrary to what seems common sense， this is an excellent 3rd or 4th book for someone wanting to improve their game。。。 The ability to see patterns is paramount in chess and this book is one of the best I have ever read in teaching one how to read the board and see the positions leading to the win。 From there， the game changes forever and players move further and further back toward the middle game understanding the general position they are striving for。 I have probably bought 20 copies of this Contrary to what seems common sense， this is an excellent 3rd or 4th book for someone wanting to improve their game。。。 The ability to see patterns is paramount in chess and this book is one of the best I have ever read in teaching one how to read the board and see the positions leading to the win。 From there， the game changes forever and players move further and further back toward the middle game understanding the general position they are striving for。 I have probably bought 20 copies of this book and always end up lending them and having to repurchase - each time， I go through the patterns again and remember or finally understand one of the mate patterns。 If you are a chess enthusiast， I highly recommend you have this book on your library！！All the best，Jay 。。。more

I wish I could read it， but it's in old， descriptive chess notation which I haven't learned how to decode yet。。。 I wish I could read it， but it's in old， descriptive chess notation which I haven't learned how to decode yet。。。 。。。more
