Thomas Engqvist uses 300 carefully chosen examples to cover openings, middlegame positions and endgames in a way that works well for study and revision.
What the book covers
The book focuses on positions every player should know, helping you organise your understanding and recognise familiar setups more quickly. Each position is explained in detail, with examples ranging from simpler ideas to more advanced ones. That structure makes it easier to connect the theory with your own games.
