This is not just a book for kids – for Dad read any opponent who beats you regularly! This book teaches the 50 Deadly Checkmates – basic attacking patterns that occur repeatedly in games between players of all standards. Each mating motif is carefully and simply explained, and several illustrative examples are given. A final test enables the reader to grade his pattern recognition abilities, and the last chapter explains what to do if your Dad is Garry Kasparov. Fun, instructive and guaranteed to improve your game. This is a hardback book, ideal for school libraries.
