Winning Chess Traps 300 Ways to Win in the Opening Paperback – January 23, 2013

This is a truly fun book. The mistake a lot of people make with books is expecting to much. Look at the publication date. The latest computer aided analysis of your favorite opening will NOT be in here. What you will find is:1. Typical opening mistakes, pawn chasing, premature attacks, greed etc., punished.2. Some older forgotten lines of play that you can enjoy, and maybe punish an opponent with.3. Basic tactics in openings you do not currently play but, may be inspired to take up.4. Mating patterns in the early stage of a game.5. A whole lotta fun!!Now if you have a problem with the good old descriptive notation well, get over it!You are missing a goldmine of information out there because you are to lazy to learn it. Your loss.

I can work with it, but it is not written in current chess notation.

Lots of great examples. I'm still going through the book for the first time. I'll probably go through it several times.

Molto difficile da leggere (ma non impossibile).Costa poco per cui non lo restituisco, tuttavia consiglio di acquistare libri con notazione algebrica, molto più semplice da leggere..

This book use the descriptive notation instead of the algebraic one. A real headache, if you are not familiar with this notation.

beware it is in the old notation - i had to return it for that reason

It is old annotation

This is a good book on traps by studying them very closely you'll avoid becoming a victim in your games you may be told by strong players not to try for traps because your opponent will avoid them that's true but if you study the traps in Chernev's book and how to apply them say 7 different ways your opponent didn't consider you'll still have a shot at getting them by surprise.The key for good trapping is timing them right and being patient
