Charles Hertan is a FIDE Master from Massachusetts who has been teaching chess for more than thirty years. He won the ChessCafe Book of the Year Award and authored the best-selling Power Chess for Kids books.
"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."--Chris Wainscott "On the Road to Chess Master
"
"One of those super reads from New in Chess!"--Elburg Chess
Reviews
"Now, thanks to Hertan's well-written explanations, the reader too
should be able to increase their own killer instinct."--CHESS
Magazine (UK)
"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."--Miguel Ararat "Florida Chess "
"A good book from New in Chess. Judit Polgar was ranked No. 8 in
the world and is the only woman who has battled with the greatest
players. Judit was a superb tactician, and the book is a collection
of her finest combinations."--Simen Agdestein, Grandmaster "VG
Daily Newspaper (Norway) "
"A very sophisticated and warm-hearted technical appraisal of Judit
Polgar's chess and in particular her attacking prowess. The layout
of the book is very inviting and easy to follow. Highly
recommended."--Michael Mkpadi "Chess Club Live "
