Enhance Your Tactical Vision
Master the Secrets of Trapping Pieces
The backbone of chess tactics is square control.
And perhaps nothing will sharpen your vision for square control than perfecting your skill at
trapping pieces.
That’s exactly what you’ll do with this comprehensive workbook by community author
Kevin Smith.
Working methodically through every piece on the chess board, you’ll learn how to dominate each of your opponent’s pieces in a wide range of situations using sometimes surprising tactics - targeted to each piece you are trying to trap.
You will train how to:
♟️
Keep knights ‘dim on the rim’ by cutting off escape squares in the center - from right out of the opening, to a tightly contested endgame
♟️
Imprison enemy bishops with both your pawns and your opponent’s own pawns - often disarming the king’s most important protector in the process
♟️
Trap even the most mobile of pieces - the queen - with juicy pawn sacrifices your opponent will be unable to resist
♟️
Learn when the conditions are right for a trap - and why some traps fail, so you can make sure you’re not the one getting trapped!
Drilling these techniques in
over 300 MoveTrainer®️ exercises will not only teach you new tactical patterns and improve your calculation, but also
train you on how to spot opportunities to trap pieces in the first place. And the detailed, engaging explanations of the author will make sure the concepts stick.
Add in some model games showing how real-world openings transform into trappy middlegames and endgames, and you have a practical workbook to improve tactics in your very own games.
