Trampas de ajedrez - A. P. Sokolski

This Chess Traps by A. P. Sokolski is a chess book about one of the game’s most practical themes: tactical traps that can arise from the very first moves. It shows how a move that looks perfectly natural can lead an opponent into error.

What the book covers

The subject is chess traps — positions in which one side prepares a sequence of moves that leads the other into a weaker reply. That makes the book relevant both for players working on their practical play and for readers who want a better understanding of opening tactics.

The author also draws attention to the first move in a trap. It may look entirely sensible, invite a specific response and only then reveal its real purpose. As a result, the book can help you both set traps more effectively and recognise them more quickly in your own games.

It is a useful choice for anyone studying chess tactics, opening play and practical over-the-board decision-making.
