Chess Secrets is a series of books which uncover the mysteries of the most
important aspects of chess: strategy, attack, opening play and gambits,
classical play, endgames and preparation.
In each book the author studies a number of great players from chess history
who have excelled in a particular field of the game and who have undeniably
influenced those who have followed.
In The Giants of Power Play, Neil McDonald selects five players who have excelled
in the field of 'power play' - the art of putting opponents under constant pressure.
The methods of doing so are numerous, including gaining rapid development in return
for material to build up an initiative, preparing powerful opening ideas in advance,
or even developing completely new opening systems.
McDonald examines the contributions made by each player, their differences in approach
and style, and from Morphy to Topalov, how they followed in each other's footsteps.
A study of this book will help you to enhance your skills in one of the most crucial
elements of the game.
Neil McDonald is a Grandmaster who has firmly established himself as one of the world's
leading chess writers, with many outstanding works to his name.
