Product Description
There is no easier way to win a game of chess than by luring your opponent into a devious trap. Similarly, there’s nothing worse than being the one on the receiving end. Tricks, traps and swindles lie in wait everywhere, especially so in the opening phase of the game, and many battles can be won or saved simply through learning and mastering the most important ones.
In this instructive and fun book, Gary Lane looks back though chess history and at modern times to create a list of his own favourite tricks and traps. Selecting from hundreds of contenders, Lane examines a variety of factors in order to decide which ideas are most worthy of inclusion. Discover the stories behind the most cunning tricks and traps of all time; how you can utilize them to score easy wins; and how you can avoid being tricked yourself.
The Greatest Ever Chess Tricks and Traps
I enjoyed it because as an improving player, I want to know what openings works and what tricks are available.A big plus is that if the trick or trap is seen by the opponent then alternatives are given for a competitive position. There are a few refutations of odd lines which is great because I know people rated up to 1750 who play bizarre lines but I never know what to do. I do now! I used to play only the Colle and Mr Lane even manages to present a tricky line in that to catch out the careless player. All the traps seem to occur before ten moves have been played making it much more likely to happen when playing. A guide to winning chess in the opening.
