About this product
 
Combinations are the central element in chess; they make the game so magical and captivating.  The beautiful point of sacrificing a queen, the strongest piece, in order to checkmate with a lowly pawn brings a smile of joy to all chess lovers.  Virtually all chess games possess a combination, either one hidden in the shadows of analysis carefully avoided or one that provides a decisive blow.

Winning Chess Combinations is a unique work that doesn't merely repeat the wonderfully rich and vast numbers of combinations, asking readers to solve a particular diagrammed position; it is a work that is far more realistic.  A combination involves a sacrifice upsetting the balance of forces, but will it work or tragically boomerang?  The reader is invited to solve this critical question by identifying the advantages that a specific position holds which might make the combination successful.

Winning Chess Combinations is the seventh in Yasser Seirawan's highly acclaimed Winning Chess Series - probably the best-selling series of chess books ever published.

Features:
  • A complete guide to chess combinations
  • Includes stunning sacrifices
  • Ideal for the improving player
