Chess Camp | Volume 7 | Opening Tactics | Igor Sukhin
Chess Camp is a comprehensive training system designed for beginner chess players, as well as the parents and coaches who teach them.
Starting with simple problems to illustrate key concepts and gradually progressing to more complex positions, students learn by doing—methodically integrating new information with previous knowledge while building effective thinking habits at the board.
In Opening Tactics (the 7th volume in the Chess Camp series), you will be challenged with more lifelike conditions as they arise in standard openings. You will learn to enhance your ability to think independently in real positions and start to absorb typical themes from the chess openings. Taking your opponent's threats into account is a key part of the lesson.
- Learn about key tactical motifs that commonly arise during the opening phase, such as forks, pins, and traps
- Features puzzles based on real-game positions to enhance learning and application
- You will learn to identify common opening mistakes and how to exploit them
- The exercises will increase in difficulty, allowing you to build confidence and skill progressively
- By mastering opening tactics, you will set the stage for better middlegame performance
Reader’s Reviews:
I’m using this book to teach a 5-year-old, and it’s fantastic! I combine reading the moves directly from the book with setting them up on the chessboard, which makes the lessons more engaging and concrete - W Dinell
I consider myself an intermediate player, but I have learned some valuable ideas as I worked through this beginner's book. It has definitely been worth my time - Jimmy
Best introductory book we've used, and I have two kids who play chess in NYC – NYCGr
