Chess for Tigers

One of the most influential books on chess ever published – now in digital format. The Tiger is a vicious beast. He doesn’t care about the aesthetic side of chess. He doesn’t even care about making the ‘best’ moves. All he cares about is winning.

Do you want to win more games? Then become a Tiger. ‘Chess for Tigers’ tells

you how to make the most of your playing strength, how to play upon your

opponent’s weaknesses, how to steer the game into a position which suits you

and not your opponent, how to get results against strong opposition and how to

avoid silly mistakes.

This is a cult classic that is as relevant to today’s generation of chess players as

the first edition was. Regularly voted in the top 10 best chess books of all time,

this book should be read by all chess players, especially beginners who want to

win at all costs.
