Kasprov's Winning Chess Tactics by Bruce Pandolfini
From America’s foremost chess coach and game strategist for Netflix’s The Queen’s Gambit comes a superbly crafted compendium of brilliant strategies fans can use to measure their skills against the champion, improve their game, or simply have fun. As the youngest world champion ever, Gary Kasparov inspires new chess fans and experienced players alike with his brilliant grasp of tactics. Running the gamut from simple forks and pins to subtle maneuvers and deep combinations, it is his tactical brilliance that catapulted Kasparov to the top. This tactical chess bible traces the world champion’s development from school days to world-class competition, analyzing both the actual moves and traps or dead-ends he or his opponent sidestepped in more than 140 carefully selected tournament positions. Includes a glossary and index of individual tactics allowing players to bone up on any specific weakness in the game.
