Are you a player who makes basic and costly mistakes? Advanced beginners and intermediate amateurs will enjoy this book packed with real game traps and how to avoid them.

It is presented systematically to teach you what to do to get yourself back into a winning position.

You will find practical solutions to switch from amateur thinking to successful chess moves.

It is assumed that you are familiar with the way the chessmen move, and have some idea of opening a game. I do not give advice on opening moves or strategy. The focus of this book is to assist you to avoid coming off second-best in simple tactical maneuvers.

I know from personal experience, having obtained a reasonable position from the opening few moves, how frustrating it can be to lose a piece and thereby ruin a good game.

This book is not about obvious blunders such as leaving a threatened piece unprotected. Rather, it systematically identifies certain patterns, positions in which loss is bound to occur loss of material and often loss of the game. It's an uphill struggle to salvage a game when one's fighting force has less fire-power than the opponent.

An important tactic discussed, and illustrated with examples, is the pin, where one player immobilizes his opponent's piece or pawn. This often has a powerful effect, as freedom of movement is crucial on the chessboard.

Pawn Forks refers to the not infrequent situation in which a lowly pawn can overcome a stronger man. This is an example of a kind of inverse hierarchy among the chessmen in which a man of lesser value can drive away a more valuable piece. In the case of a fork, however, two pieces are threatened simultaneously, and only one can move.

It may be a little embarrassing to fall victim to a pawn fork. It is harder to anticipate a knight fork  knights can be quite tricky. No such excuse with a pawn it just moves straight ahead.

Part of the charm of chess is its subtlety, exemplified by the pawn. Despite its low ranking and simple movement it has considerable value and versatility. A pawn attacks, defends, captures en passant  it can be sacrificed  it can metamorphose into a queen.

I do like pawns. But delights abound in the world of chess. This book will help you discover some of them.
