This Defence in Chess - Ilja Kan is a short training chess book focused on one of the game’s most important skills: defending well under pressure. It is suitable both for independent study and as a teaching resource for coaches and instructors.
What the book covers
This book looks at defence in practical chess terms: coping with an opponent’s pressure, meeting an attack and finding the right moves in difficult positions. It is a useful read for players who want to understand defensive play more clearly and strengthen that part of their game at the board.
Useful for study and training
This training chess book can be used as a self-study guide, but it also works well in chess lessons and training sessions. That makes it relevant not only for players, but also for anyone looking for material to discuss specific defensive ideas with students.
