Discover the art of the brilliant short game. In this first volume of Chess in Miniature, the author explores the secrets behind spectacular encounters lasting no more than 25 moves. Rather than simply presenting collections of miniatures, this book identifies and explains the factors that consistently create dazzling victories. From tactical awareness and queen activity to timely sacrifices and dominant knights, readers are shown how the best miniatures are constructed — and how they can create their own. Packed with entertaining games, Volume 1 makes the process of learning as exciting as the games themselves. A fresh and original take on one of chess literature’s most beloved topics.
