About this ebook

 This publication is a tribute to the unique chess talent of Alexander Morozevich. It is a collection of his selected games, with each game focusing on a tactical shot delivered by Alexander. To see the solution for the combination - go to the next page in your e-reader. 

A few years ago, I read Alexander's interview where he complained about being accused of being lucky. Supposedly he randomly stumbles upon tricky shots and wins this way. Of course, he explained, the difficult part is not finding those combinations, but forcing your opponents to get into positions where their pieces are loose, and non-standard tactics are possible. For that reason - entire games are given, if the reader is curious to understand better how Morozevich gets those favourable positions. 


The book is also focused on attack, with our hero playing with the white pieces in all games, so there are a lot of sharp games where the advantage switches fromone side to another. Above all - I hope you enjoy solving the puzzles and get a bit more familiar with the style of one of the most interesting chess players of our time. 

Because the examples are taken from real life games, the solutions do not always lead to clearly winning positions. Although most of the tactical shots are decisive, some of them  just provide an extra material, or serve as a good way to continue from the starting position. The goal of the book is to get the reader to develop a feel for Morozevich's tactical talent, something that they could translate into their own games.
