A MODERN GUIDE TO CHECKMATING PATTERNS - VLADIM...

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). It's 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 opponent's 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. It's a brilliantly
organized course that has proven to be effective. Finding mate isn't rocket science  but you
need to know what to look for. Vladimir Barsky teaches you exactly that.
