Giving mate is the ultimate goal of every chess player. Finding
that all-decisive combination is immensely satisfying. But how are
you supposed to spot a checkmate when you are sitting at the board
with the clock ticking? In this guide International Master Vladimir
Barsky teaches the method created by his mentor Viktor Khenkin
(1923-2010). Its based on an ingenious classification of the most
frequently occurring mating schemes. A wide range of chess players
will find it an extremely useful tool to recognize mating patterns
and calculate the often narrow path to the kill. All the 1,000
examples (850 of them in exercise format) that Barsky presents are
from games played in 21st century. He has carefully selected the
most instructive combinations and lucidly explains the typical
techniques to corner your opponents king. More often than you would
expect, positions that look innocent at first sight, turn out to
contain a mating pattern. This is not just another book full of
chess puzzles. Its a brilliantly organized course that has proven
to be effective. Finding mate isnt rocket science, but you need to
know what to look for. Vladimir Barsky teaches you exactly that.
