Chess

Every chessplayer, from beginner to world champion, loves to win a game with a brilliant attacking display. However many, if not most, attacks that end in victory do so due to inaccurate defence. This may be due to simple tactical miscalculation or perhaps a more fundamental misunderstanding of the important principles of defence. Furthermore, many attacks that are launched are simply unsound but succeed because many players feel uncomfortable when forced to defend, get flustered and make mistakes. In this book, highly experienced chess author and coach, Neil McDonald addresses these issues.

Defensive skill is crucial in chess. Good, accurate defence can win a game just as well as a fine attacking display can, so expertise in this department is essential for any player wishing to improve their game. With thorough explanations, questions, and exercises, this book provides fascinating material to enable you to hone your defensive skill and not feel intimidated when your opponent hurls pieces at your king.

Reviews for Dynamic Defence

""The examples in the book reflect very well the practical decisions from our daily chess practice. McDonald explains in clear language the dynamic techniques and these are certainly based on 'human' solutions to the problems of defense. The author also does not fail to let his years of experience as a coach shine through between the lines. The interactive style ensures a smooth reading experience, where you sometimes feel like you are sitting at the table with McDonald... Thanks to that coaching wisdom, the psychological side of defending is also frequently discussed."", Translated from Schaaksite.nl
