Chess Tactics for Champions: A Step-By-Step Guide to Using Tactics and Combinations the Polgar Way

Susan Polgar became the first female Grandmaster at age 15–and it wasn’t luck that got her there. Her use of tactics, combinations, and strategy during her games gave her the critical advantage she needed against her opponents. In Chess Tactics for Champions, Polgar gives insight into the kind of thinking that chess champions rely on while playing the game, specifically the ability to recognize patterns and combinations.
