Now in an expanded second edition packed with new examples, studies,
problems, and ideas, Secrets of Spectacular Chess is a guide for
practical chess players of intermediate to advanced skill. Yet Secrets
of Spectacular Chess is more than a logical gameplay guide; the
aesthetics of chess are delved into at length (the elements of chess
beauty are defined by the aspects of paradox, depth, geometry, and
flow). Further chapters address "Tactical Fantasies: The Charm of
Studies", "Art for Art's Sake: The Delight of Chess Problems", and
much more. A "must-have" for chess enthusiasts, Secrets of Spectacular
Chess is highly recommended for its thoughtful look at not only the
complex logical heart of the game, but also its soul.
