CHESS STRATEGY

    How to Defend in Chess
    Learn from the World Champions
    Many books discuss how to attack in chess, but good, resourceful defensive play is also a vital ingredient in competitive success. However, this is an area largely neglected in the literature of the game. This book fills the gap admirably, by explaining the basics of defending against direct offensives, and taking an in-depth look at how the all-time greats have fended off their opponents' attacks.

    The Ultimate Chess Strategy Book - VOLUME 1
    How to Play the Closed Openings Like a Virtuoso
    The opening is reaching its end, and we must make a pivotal decision: what shall our middlegame strategy be? Do we seek an active plan to profit from our strengths and highlight the opponent's weaknesses? Or do we adopt prophylaxis, attending to our own position's shortcomings and hindering the opponent's plans? Alternatively, are there any ready-made plans that we know from other games that can be tailored to fit our position? The authors present 90 'multi-choice' tests where the reader faces this task. In detailed solutions, they explain the best solution, and why other possibilities are less convincing.
