Magic of Chess Tactics 2
Attacking Techniques and Transformations

Similar to the first MOCT Fritztrainer, it's all about tactical explosive stuff. In lively opening, middlegame, and endgame discussions Bremen chess trainer and analyst FM Claus Dieter Meyer again has put under the microscope a comprehensive fund of topical and timeless games/fragments, a great deal taken from German Bundesliga praxis, and in doing so has filtered out many motifs/themes and brought attacking techniques and transformations in focus. On the big database enclosed are the complete analysis including about 400 training questions plus a number of photos, partly taken on the spots of the encounters.

On video Hamburg grandmaster Dr. Karsten Müller has outlined corner points of Meyer's work and created 14 tests plus 10 interactive test sets completed with own examples. In this way attacking techniques (for instance with material/positional unbalances) and transformations (especially the right/wrong exchange) may be studied first and for deepening practiced directly afterwards on the basis of concrete exercises.
