Discontinued
Volume three of The Tactician's Handbook continues ICCF IM Charushin's unique look at the fundamental building blocks of tactical play. Here we have his detailed examination of deflections, the "drawing away" of an attacking piece onto an inconvenient square. The sacrifice is marvellous to behold: a piece is given away for nothing, and also with check! This stunning combinational method is here shown to be no lucky accident, but a basic mechanism of tactics in chess. Mitrofanov's Deflection is presented with its own history, then games and studies reinforce the operation of this beautiful tactical device - all in Charushin's inimitable style!
The Tactician's Handbook offers a profound new method of exploring chess combinations: one element at a time, in short focused steps. Each volume examines a single often seen tactical category using carefully selected illustrations. Every example demonstrates the real-world "nuts and bolts" operation of the tactic in question. Readers can immediately apply the skills acquired here, blending the combinational types learned from The Tactician's Handbook into their own games.

The author's third volume in the application of dramatic, problem-like themes to practical play. Firstly he dealt with Alekhine's block (blocking sacrifices on the 6th rank), then combination cross (tactics on converging lines), and now he looks at the 'drawing away' of a piece to an inconvenient square! Here is a study by Mitrofanov which illustrates the theme.
