Zwischenzug! is the first-ever comprehensive guide to the chess tactic also known as the
intermediate move or intermezzo. This exciting manoeuvre can catch opponents off guard because
it is against the expected run of play. You will learn how to spot Zwischenzugs when to look
out for them and how to set them up in your games. The authors have studied thousands of games
and have identified the patterns that appear frequently in practical play. The book categorizes
the different types of Zwischenzugs and distils them into easily accessible themes. The
concepts are given catchy names to make them more memorable and historical details and
anecdotes are added throughout the book. Included is an extensive mix of sample puzzles for
learning and practice. When published on Chessable the course was received very
enthusiastically and awarded an average rating of 4.82 out of a possible five stars. Another
welcome effect is that the authors are now finding a lot of Zwischenzugs in their own games!
