This book offers chess players the ultimate challenge - to find the move or sequence of moves that will finish off the imaginary opponent in a checkmate situation, allowing readers to practice traps and winning opening moves without using a chess board. With 300 problems, arranged by degree of difficulty, this book is ideal for players of all levels and skill and should help in developing tactical, analytical and combinative skills. Bruce Pandolfini is the author of "Chessercizes" and "Weapons of Chess".
