This guide to chess chooses the most dynamic and destructive tactical patterns, positions where the winning move forces instant checkmate, resignation or decisive advantage. Quite often such climaxes are the result of sustained and prolonged attacking pressure, and the final move may be make or break, where the winner has already burned boats by sacrificing material. Players have to choose the one move that causes the destruction of your partner. All of these games are real, and many are absolute classics that have been overlooked for one reason or another.
