Strike Like Judit!: The Winning Tactics of Chess Legend Judit Polgar [Paperback]

This book manages to achieve something that I don't find that often, in that it is more or less accessible to everyone while at the same time being of value to stronger players. Especially within the Calculation chapter, which contains many examples annotated at quite some depth. Therefore I feel comfortable recommending this book to everyone. One of those super reads from New in Chess! Now, thanks to Hertan's well-written explanations, the reader too should be able to increase their own killer instinct. I feel Hertan's work is useful to everyone and connects best with players inclined to tactical, sharp, forcing play. Hertan devotes a chapter to explain some methods of calculation in chess like how to approach long, forcing variations. Must materials to improve your chess. A good book from New in Chess.
