"Intuition, Imagination & Precision"

When released in 2002, the first volume of The Magic of Chess Tactics by FIDE Master Claus Dieter Meyer and German Grandmaster Karsten Müller was extremely popular. It was one of the first books to deal with tactics on high level. Like the first book, intended for advanced (Elo 1800+) players, this second volume puts special tactical motifs and themes under the analytical microscope.

The contents include:

  • Attacking with the Queen and Knight
  • The Knight on the Attack
  • Attacking with Bishops of Opposite Colors
  • Pins
  • Learn from the World Champions
  • Exchanges & Transformations

The reader will find the analysis comprehensive and challenging. Dozens of exercises help reinforce the reader’s understanding of this complex subject matter. So, roll up your sleeves and prepare to ride herd on tactical fireworks and sharpen your tactical skills.
