Every chess player loves to win early in the game with a deadly combination or a cunning trap. On the other hand, nobody wants to be tricked by his opponent before the game has really started.

This series covers the tactical themes and typical traps in ALL main line openings!

They are explained in more than 1200 carefully selected and annotated short games.

"Tactics in the Chess Opening" teaches how to recognise opportunities to attack early in the game and how to avoid standard pitfalls in the opening. It will make the adventurous player win more games.

A guide for further study and for setting up an opening repertoire.
