It's Your Move: Tough Puzzles (Everyman Chess) by Chris Ward

New! It's Your Move: Tough Puzzles (Everyman Chess)

Chris Ward

In this highly original and instructive self-test book, Grandmaster Chris Ward presents a selection of carefully chosen puzzles to solve. As in Chris Ward's other books, the reader is given the choice of five plausible plans and has to decide which is the most likely to succeed. The answers then identify the most promising plan and explain why the other choices are less attractive.

Instead of opting for the traditional 'check, check, mate ... mate!' type of puzzles, Ward concentrates on situations which are much more likely to occur in practical games.
