Song and Preotu consider the role of manoeuvring and prophylactic thought, and examine attacks in the endgame, as well as more standard topics such as play on colour complexes and when and how to launch the pawns in an all-out assault.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e And because life's too short to read a boring chess book, the text is packed with advice, study suggestions and anecdotes as well as quotes and references to philosophy and other 'real-world' topics. Their examples are drawn from their own practice and their supergrandmaster trainer, as well as modern classics and older gems. Most of their material you will not have seen before; the rest you will not have seen explained this way before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Song, Razvan Preotu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1911465163\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781911465164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gambit Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/02\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.70h x 6.60w x 0.60d","brand":"Michael Song","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43937437450495,"sku":"9781911465164","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_fd088414-0d07-4e04-8784-d27c57eb4e8e.jpg?v=1681430062","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-chess-attackers-handbook-michael-song-9781911465164","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
