by Fred Reinfeld ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A
A practical and cheerful handbook of basic chess tactics provides good advice for players a step beyond the beginning stage and though it covers much of the material in Mr. Reinfeld's other books, will be a hit with a growing audience. Endings; the art of resigning; relative piece values; checks, capturing threats and pawn promotion as the three strongest moves; openings; the middle games; and more end game tactics-these are the topics in their order. With the author's knack of aptly humorous explanations that fit in the with urgency of play, the learning is pleasurable as well as profitable.
