4.0 out of 5 stars
Brutal tactics,
By Chess reader (Ohio, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mastering the Middlegame (Everyman Chess) (Paperback)
Mastering the Middlegame is a debatable title for this work. Attacking the King, the first chapter, could be the title of the entire book. With beautiful sacrifices that are surprisingly likely to occur in a practical game, Dunnington gives us ways to determine if they are correct based on the ideas rather than variations (for instance, exploiting the diagonal). However he goes a little overboard. There are sacrifices in 2/3 games in this book, and while he has a chapter called 'Defending-Keep Calm' it is really showing counterattacks. Though it is deceptive in the title, this is a great addition to any collection.
