Description Most Valuable Skills in Chess By Maurice Ashley Gambit Publications | September 2009 | PDF | ISBN 10: 1904600875 | 160 pages | 6 mb Amazon Link : http://www.amazon.com/Valuable-Skills-Chess-Maurice-Ashley/dp/1904600875/ This book is a primer on tactics that goes from the basic to the complex. Part 1 covers the basic skills every chess-player should have at his or her fingertips. Each position is meant to serve a long-term purpose. Make sure you understand each diagram before going on to the next. And, when you are all done, I hope you go through it once more. Trust me: it pays to refresh your fundamentals. Eventually you'll see that the crazy jungle of tactical ideas is not so crazy after all. The second part of the book covers five of the greatest games ever played. More than just entertainment, they are meant to teach you how the basic skills you learnt in Part 1 come together to make real works of art. Do not be fooled by the years in which these games were played. Works of art, like the Mona Lisa or the Venus de Milo, are timeless.
