Winning Way

In his many popular books on chess, Bruce Pandolfini has written about everything from openings to endgame strategies. In THE WINNING WAY, he draws on his long experience coaching chess champions - including Josh Waitzkin - to offer a goal-oriented approach to improving one's game. Pandolfini breaks his course into 10 separate lessons, delineating 150 individual tasks and covering such topics as how to spot typical mistakes, when to use pieces in combination, and which tactics are most effective. Problems are classified by theme, opening, and stratagem, and each one is diagrammed and explained. THE WINNING WAY helps players sharpen their basic skills to win artfully and quickly.
