Who Dares Wins!

En ny og forfriskende bok om angrepssjakk i partier der den ene rokerer kort og den andre langt. Den unge engelske IM'en undersøker og belyser avgjørende faktorer for seier eller tap i slike skarpe stillinger.

Han skriver friskt og leseverdig. En samtidig underholdende og lærerik bok med komplette partier. Passer nok ekstra godt for spillere med ratingstyrke omlag 1200 - 2100.
