{"product_id":"chessboard-combat-joel-benjamin-9789493257832","title":"Chessboard Combat: The Give and Take of Chess Tactics","description":"Chess students love a Puzzle Rush. And solving tactics puzzles certainly helps you improve your pattern recognition and will help you find good moves in tournament games. But there is a downside to most tactics puzzles -- we always know who is supposed to win! Chess in real life is different, not just because no one taps us on the shoulder and tells us to look for a tactic. Sometimes tactics work, and sometimes they don't. Sometimes your opponent has a few tricks up their sleeve, too. This book shows the reality of chess tactics. It explores a chess player's challenges over the board: attack, defense, and counterattack! It exposes the actual give-and-take nature of chess tactics. American grandmaster Joel Benjamin, a three-time U.S. Champion, was inspired by the 20th-century classic Chess Traps, Pitfalls, and Swindles by legendary chess authors Fred Reinfeld and Israel Albert Horowitz. With modern examples, Benjamin arouses the same spirit of fun and enjoyment. With a generous amount of puzzles in quiz form, this manual will help chess students sharpen their tactical skills and be ready to strike - or counterstrike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joel Benjamin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9493257835\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789493257832\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New in Chess\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.26h x 6.79w x 0.53d","brand":"Joel Benjamin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44132977508607,"sku":"9789493257832","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_71ad4b56-ca9e-4364-a28f-f0a742d31195.jpg?v=1687483378","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/chessboard-combat-joel-benjamin-9789493257832","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
