Synopsis:

Learn to: Knock your opponent off balance with bold opening moves Formulate an overall game strategy before the middle game Understand the motivation behind your opponents every move Position yourself for a winning endgame. A special section features actual games of history's greatest chess strategists.

Review: This is the third of Seirawan's four-volume series, which takes the reader from chess greenhorn to a player advanced enough to understand grandmaster play. Here, Seirawan shows how to set long-range goals for a game and systematically gain a superior position. His deft explanations give anyone with basic chess knowledge (covered in his previous books) the insights to leap levels in play. As usual, he tackles the subject with an infectious enthusiasm, communicating the sporting thrill as each piece of a meticulous plan comes together. Throughout the book, engrossing chess puzzles help teach strategic points.
