Bill Wall's first book on chess traps was so successful, it became his number one selling book. So, he thought it was time to bring out some more! Here is a collection of over 600 chess traps and miniatures (20 moves or less) taken from recent games and classical short games from past masters. The games provide an excellent opportunity to study chess tactics, combinations, and sacrifices. The games are best examples of practical chess traps from the most popular opening play. The entire gamut of recent chess openings is surveyed, with an emphasis on recent chess games. All of the chess games are slightly annotated to show better alternative moves or weaker moves to be avoided. Chess diagrams have been added to the more critical positions of a game. This newest collection of chess traps and miniatures should provide hours of entertaining reading for those who like decisive short games. This collection is aimed at anyone who enjoys short chess games and wants to become familiar with traps in modern opening play. The chess games in this volume are a sampling of chess traps recently played or classical traps played by past masters.
