Defend to the End!
One of the most important skills a chessplayer needs is the ability to defend a position that is under siege.

Major topics include (1) Principles and methods of defending; (2) Defending against a direct attack on the king; (3) Countering the initiative; (4) Saving the draw; (5) Passive versus active defense; and (6) Use and development of counterplay
Many of the world's greatest players - Steinitz, Lasker, Petrosian - were famous for their legendary defensive skills. Let co-authors Karsten Müller and Merijn van Delft show you how you can Test and Improve Your Defensive Skill.
