Synopsis
This book is written to address an underemphasized area of chess training and study, the identification of and reaction to--threats. For beginner and intermediate-level players, the study of tactics is paramount. Almost all tactics books take the approach of providing a position where there is a forced win, checkmate or draw. However, Looking for Trouble takes a different tack. This book helps players to recognize threats by providing over 200 problems in which players can focus on identifying and meeting threats ranging from extremely easy to fiendishly difficult. The identification of difficult threats--and how to meet them--is discussed in a manner that accomodates players of all levels.

    The seller offered a hard-to-find chess book in "like new" condition at an excellent price. He also allowed me to combine the purchase of two books with only one shipping charge. The book arrived several days ahead of schedule, well-packaged and in the condition described. This is a professional bookseller from whom I look forward to purchasing more books from his outstanding chess book collection in the near future!
