Advanced Chess Tactics 2nd edition by Lev Psakhis

Descripción

Advanced Chess Tactics 2nd edition by Lev Psakhis A mastery of tactics is essential to a competitive

chess player, and the original Advanced Chess Tactics became an instant classic in this field.

“This book is absolutely superb. For serious players… this volume will provide a wonderful breadth of

study material and act as a workbook to advance your skills and understanding of this important

topic…” was Carsten Hansen’s comment when awarding the book 6/6 stars.

 

This new edition benefits from various analytical tweaks, plus an entirely new chapter dedicated to

attacking in the French Defence, an opening which the author knows better than almost anyone,

having played it for most of his career. Readers are sure to find this an invaluable addition to the

original chapters, which remain usefully categorized by opening or common pawn structure.

2nd edition

Lev Psakhis is a legendary Grandmaster who twice won the immensely strong Soviet Championship

before moving to Israel, where he has also been national champion twice. A renowned coach, he has

worked with many famous players including Garry Kasparov and the Polgar sisters.

 

Praise for Advanced Chess Tactics:

“The Israeli GM has succeeded perfectly in putting his gigantic experience and knowledge down on

paper… An absolute must for anyone who’s aiming to improve his tactical abilities in a structured manner!”

“The book is written in a light, sparkling tone, which matches the astonishing games – many of which

are not well-known – that Psakhis selects and analyses in great depth.

All-in-all a really excellent book, aimed at a stronger audience (Psakhis mentions the rating range

2000-2600), but enjoyable for more, I would think.”

Advanced Chess Tactics 2nd

“Psakhis explains how to use tactics to build an attack. He does this through a series of very well

annotated games which are arranged around certain pawn structures and openings… Lev Psakhis is

recognized as one of the most important chess trainers of all time, having worked with Garry

Kasparov, the Polgar sisters and the Indian national team. This book is a testament to his teaching.”
