Ajedrez en miniatura - Volumen 1, de David LeMoir (tapa blanda)

This Chess in Miniature - Volume 1 by David LeMoir is an English-language chess book focused on practical tactics and the short, decisive games that are won in 25 moves or fewer.

What this volume covers

This first volume presents eight key ideas behind quick wins, using carefully chosen examples to show not only the final combination, but also the thinking behind the attack, the sacrifice and the opponent’s mistakes.

The book combines short variations with clear explanations, so it works well both as relaxed reading and as a study aid when you are analysing positions on the board or on screen. LeMoir encourages readers to think about tactics more broadly: spotting opportunities, investing material at the right moment and recognising when initiative matters more than cautious play.

What makes it distinctive

LeMoir presents his ideas in a practical way, with concepts such as Opportunist Tactician and Canny Investor, alongside discussion of the queen’s role and active play. It is a focused title for readers who want to understand where miniature games come from and how to create the conditions for them.

The book also includes a puzzle chapter to help you test and reinforce what you have learned.
