There are no symbolic chess moves, no charts or sequences in chess notation: every move is explained in words. <p/>Arranged alphabetically for easy use and based mainly on pawn formation, the incredibly detailed and thorough entries in this book talk a player through dozens of common strategic dilemmas, such as doubled pawn, bishops vs. knights, and hanging pawn pair. Diagrams illustrate the terms, first showing the basic position and then strategically moving to more complicated versions of it. Players will learn how to formulate plans once they have reached a middlegame, enabling them to make wiser strategic decisions after the first few moves of the game. <p/>Designed for use as a ready reference during actual practice games, and usable without a chess board, <i>Weapons of Chess</i> is a unique and invaluable resource for any developing chess player.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>Written for beginning and intermediate players, 'Weapons of Chess' is the first encyclopedia of chess strategies that doesn't rely on the usual baffling chess notation.
