About The Book
From America’s foremost chess coach and game strategist for Netflix’s The Queen’s Gambit comes a unique and challenging chess exercise book for players of all levels.
Faced with actual positions from recent tournaments and match play, readers are asked to make the winning move for some of the world’s best players, including world champion Gary Kasparov, former champion Anatoly Karpov and future stars such as Hungary’s Polgar sisters and Gata Kamsky from the US.
Problems are arranged into chapters by tactical themes, so that readers can focus on related attacks and combinations. For beginners and children, it also features a “Little Chessercizes” section with lighter examples that can help less experienced players.
