Book Synopsis:
This collection of superb opening traps is essential reading for any chess player.
The only thing more humiliating than losing a game quickly is to lose a game quickly to a known opening trap. On the other hand, the easy point scored by the trapper is a great confidence booster, and allows the winner a good rest before the next game in a competition.
As the traps in this book show, no one should feel safe from an opponent armed to the teeth with cunning traps - in these pages we regularly see masters losing in a handful of moves.
Steve Giddins has collected these traps from a wide variety of sources, and has focused his attention on risk-free traps - those that can be laid ´incidentally´ by moves that are good and useful even if the opponent avoids the trap.
- All major openings covered
- Focuses on traps that club players are most likely to fall for
- Provides excellent training in tactics
- Shows opening principles in - frequently brutal - action
