How do chess players react in the line of fire? Are they able to
remain calm in a storm? Defending against a threatening attack on
your own king is one of the most difficult aspects to master in
chess. Yet given the frequency of such offensives, it's certainly
worthwhile investing a good amount of time on honing the ability to
defend properly.
In this valuable and entertaining book, Angus Dunnington arms the
reader with all the necessary skills to be able to cope with
vicious assaults on his or her king. Using illustrative games,
Dunnington investigates in depth defensive ideas such as
blockading, giving up material, and the timely launch of
counterattacks. Read this book and defend with confidence!
