Advanced Chess Tactics 2nd edition by Lev Psakhis (Paperback)

Advanced Chess Tactics, 2nd edition by Lev Psakhis is an English-language chess book in paperback format for ambitious club players and stronger players who want to improve their tactical play in a structured way. Instead of throwing out random combinations, it uses deeply annotated games to show how tactics, attacking ideas, openings and pawn structures work together in real positions.

What the book is about

Psakhis presents the material in a clear training format, with examples grouped by openings and recurring pawn structures. The second edition also includes a new chapter on attacking play in the French Defence, a line he knows especially well from his own career.

Who it is for

This book is especially relevant for players around 2000–2600 Elo, although ambitious club players can also benefit from it. It is designed for self-study, structured tactical training and game analysis, with a clear emphasis on improving attacking play through careful work rather than quick pattern spotting.

Edition details

The book includes chess diagrams and is set up as a study and training resource you can return to repeatedly.
