Note for Coaches, Parents, Teachers, and Trainers
This book of chess problems challenges the student to
practice typical tactical ideas. There is a great number of
such motifs in both attack and defense. Some of these ideas
-including the "cross" (a type of double pin), the unstop
pable attack, closing the trap, the skewer, the x-ray attack,
removing the guard, reinforcing the attack, and many others
- are not always given the kind of attention they deserve.
Many books cover typical attacking methods, but very
few provide adequate coverage of defensive techniques. Thi�
can be explained from a psychological standpoint: it is more
exciting to look for winning moves than it is to try to defend
a bad position. However, in order to become a great player,
the student needs to know how to both attack and defend.
That is why learning typical defensive methods is no less
important than knowing attacking methods.
Learning the typical ways to defend is not easy. There
f(lre, in this book most problems are arranged by topic,
which will serve as a hint for the student. The next volume
in this series, however, will offer problems with no hints, so
as to reinforce the skills acquired while reading this book.
To become a great player, the student needs to learn both skills: how to attack and how to defend.
