Chessboard Combat

This book is a chess tactics manual with a twist. Usually, tactics training involves puzzles with a clear solution. White wins brilliantly, or Black wins. But in real life, chess is messy. Sometimes tactics work, and sometimes they dont. Thats why former US Champion Joel Benjamin tells the complete story of a chess player''s challenges over the board: attack, defense, and counterattack! Chessboard Combat is Benjamin''s fifth book for New In Chess. His Liquidation on the Chess Board won the Best Book Award of the Chess Journalists of America (CJA) and his Better Thinking, Better Chess is a worldwide bestseller, while Winning the World Open (2021) and World Champion Chess for Juniors (2020) were published to wide acclaim.
