"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 depthAll-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." -- GM Matthew Sadler, New in Chess


"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." -- IM John Donaldson

Lev Psakhis is an Israeli grandmaster. He was born in Russia and twice won the immensely strong Soviet Championship before moving to Israel where he has also been national champion twice. Psakhis is a renowned coach who has worked with many famous players including Garry Kasparov and the Polgar sisters
