An unusual and instructive tactics manual combining composed studies with positions from games of world champions.

Each chapter introduces a tactical theme – forks, pins, skewers, deflection, decoy, trapping pieces, line opening, back-rank weakness, pawn promotion, zwischenzug, perpetual check, stalemate tricks, mating ideas and combined motifs – then explains examples and presents carefully chosen exercises for the reader to solve. The book follows the proven layout of John Nunn's Learn Chess Tactics and emphasizes pattern recognition with the help of pure compositions distilled from the noise of full games. Yochanan Afek is both a Grandmaster of chess composition and an over-the-board International Master, living in Amsterdam. The book is recommended for club players upwards.
