Encyclopaedia of Chess Middlegames / Combinations

Although the combinations comprised in this book represent only a small portion of the total combinations played in practice, they have been carefully selected from the games played in a great number of tournaments over many years. One of the aims of this book is to illustrate, in the best possible way, each of the sixteen groups under which combinations are classified. The contents of this book progress from simple to complex examples, thus fulfilling the needs of those readers who wish to assess their own playing strength and improve it.
