Lev PsakhisAdvanced Chess Tactics: 2nd Edition

Bought as a present, and well-received.

I haven't read this as it was a purchase for my son who is a keen chess player...however, his improvement was very noticeable while and after reading the book...

Amazing book with themes and tctics which are very well explained.

Thank you.

This book is specialized in studying methods of attacks on IQP positions (3 chapters are devoted to this alone), as black in Benoni, in Caro-Kann, French and more. The format is through game annotation. Mainly Tal and of the author himself, but also a few other GMs.The book also includes 56 exercises.I think that it is my bad getting this book thinking I was getting something similar and more modern to Yuri Averbakhs "Advanced Tactics". It is not.I think its targeted towards very serious and veteran club/ tournament players. Not something anyone can use and take something from it. The book claims its theme is "the attack!".On the positive side, after spending some times I found out the book does provide some insight on refuting classic variations/moves that modern analysis(aka computers) have proved wrong, which is cool.I will amend my review once I study the book. In about a year when I'm near the level needed to actually take something away from it.
