edwinredo 09-Jan-13, 21:00	I'm looking for a good chess book... I'd like to study more on "breakthrough points" in a game. any Ideas on how I could improve my reconnaissance to locate those points..... this is my goal in the book, another pawn book, is not what I'm asking. I would like some author who can write about it as a tool that I can use. thank you, edwin(redo)

shamash 10-Jan-13, 22:28	where to find Critical Moments in Chess It is published by Batsford, which has excellent distribution. I bought mine new in a bookshop April 2010. If you are in Winnepeg, then for instance McNally Robinson at Grant Park probably has it in stock. The writer is past champion in European Correspondence Chess, better known for his first book, "Imagination in Chess." But this work is way more useful and rigorous, fully exploring the critical moments in developing the initiative, struggling for the initiative and capturing it, creating an attack, obtaining an advantage, retaining the advantage, creating counterplay, wresting the initiative away from your opponent, and delivering the decisive blow. enjoy.
