Synopsis
Combinations are the central element in chess; they make the game so magical and captivating. The beautiful point of sacrificing a queen, the strongest piece, in order to checkmate with a lowly pawn brings a smile of joy to all chess lovers. Virtually all chess games possess a combination, either one hidden in the shadows of analysis carefully avoided or one that provides a decisive blow. Winning Chess Combinations is a unique work that doesn't merely repeat the wonderfully rich and vast numbers of combinations, asking readers to solve a particular diagrammed position; it is a work that is far more realistic. A combination involves a sacrifice upsetting the balance of forces, but will it work or tragically boomerang? The reader is invited to solve this critical question by identifying the advantages that a specific position holds which might make the combination successful. Winning Chess Combinations is the seventh in Yasser Seirawan's highly acclaimed Winning Chess series - PROBABLY THE BEST-SELLING SERIES OF CHESS BOOKS EVER PUBLISHED., A chess combination involves a sacrifice upsetting the balance of forces but will it work or tragically boomerang?

- w***o (1114)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe item was quick to ship, the pictures are accurate, the description is honest, and it was well packaged. I would buy again. The chess pieces are formed well with no deformities. However, I do wish the weight of the pieces were heavier. The board seems like the it will last. It was a perfect eBay buying experience. A trustworthy seller. Thanks!
- l***l (209)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThese looked Navy but are Royal Blue chess pieces. They arrived in a sealed bag and unused. They are good quality as expected. I've bought from this seller before. The shipping appears to be built into the cost and so I only use this seller for one off purchases as for larger orders it would be cheaper to be able to bundle shipping.Wholesale Chess Triple Weighted Staunton Colored Pieces (Blue) (#235844055152)
