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?

    The 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!

    These 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.
