Summary "Giving mate is the ultimate goal of every chess player. But how are you supposed to spot a checkmate when you are sitting at the board with the clock ticking? Vladimir Barsky's method is based on an ingenious classification of the most frequently occurring mating schemes. A wide range of chess players will find it an extremely useful tool to recognize mating patterns and calculate the often narrow path to the kill. All the 1,000 examples (850 of them in exercise format) that Barsky presents are from games played in 21st century"-- Provided by publisher.
