Traps and Combinations in the Opening, Middlegame, Endgame

This book can be viewed as three in one: first, it is a collection of various, yet often typical, traps encountered in both the opening and the middlegame, as well as in the endgame. Second, this book is a textbook... on tactics, as traps are almost always based on clever tactical strikes. Finally, third, this book can also serve as a problem solver; to use it as such, one must look for tactical strikes possible in the positions on the diagrams independently, without referring to the text.
Traps in chess are an incredibly exciting topic. The pleasure of having the opponent fall into the carefully set net is always immense, but one also feels joy when succeeding in deciphering someone else's plan and not falling into a trap oneself. This book will help achieve both.
Working with this book will improve the results of chess players of any qualification.
