From the cover: In this book, the English author E.G.R. Cordingley carefully selected 250 positions, covering all types of combinations and types of sacrifices from all phases of the game. The solutions are frequently annotated in detail, illustrating both the actual game continuations as well as numerous relevant alternatives. The positions are selected from the games by countless of the strongest players of the time, including Steinitz, Lasker, Capablanca, Alekhine, Tarrasch, Chigorin, Keres, Marshall, and many others. However, there are also many less-known gems by players that have long been forgotten in the annals of chess. FIDE Master and Trainer Carsten Hansen has re-examined all of the solutions and analyses, adding new insights into these classic games. There is lots of exciting material for dedicated students to examine and learn from.
