And solving tactics puzzles certainly helps you improve your pattern recognition and will help you find good moves in tournament games. But there is a downside to most tactics puzzles — we always know who is supposed to win!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChess in real life is different, not just because no one taps us on the shoulder and tells us to look for a tactic. Sometimes tactics work, and sometimes they don't. Sometimes your opponent has a few tricks up their sleeve, too.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book shows the reality of chess tactics. It explores a chess player's challenges over the board: attack, defense, and counterattack! It exposes the actual give-and-take nature of chess tactics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmerican grandmaster Joel Benjamin, a three-time U.S. Champion, was inspired by the 20th-century classic Chess Traps, Pitfalls, and Swindles by legendary chess authors Fred Reinfeld and Israel Albert Horowitz. With modern examples, Benjamin arouses the same spirit of fun and enjoyment. With a generous amount of puzzles in quiz form, this manual will help chess students sharpen their tactical skills and be ready to strike - or counterstrike.","brand":"New in Chess","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47831325245669,"sku":"NP9789493257832","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/chessboard-combat-isbn-9789493257832","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
