Решебник. Шахматные комбинации. 1-2 разряд, 1700-2000 Elo. 3-я книжка серии «Решебники для разрядников» обогатит вас более изысканным тактическим оружием. Не всегда до короля можно добраться, используя грубую силу. Попробуйте действовать хитростью! Маскируйте свои действия, как разведчик, и ведите себя, как опытный дипломат. Найдите слабое место в лагере противника и в нужный момент уничтожьте защиту и нанесите тонкий кинжальный удар. Чужие фигуры могут стать союзниками. Умелыми маневрами привлеките фигуры противника к их королю, пусть они его заблокируют так, чтобы он не мог пошевелиться, и в этот момент нанесите решающий удар. Плохо, когда все фигуры вашего противника отлично взаимодействуют. Попробуйте вбить клин в их порядки – перекрыть их прочной шахматной дверью. А так ли страшна атака противника на ваши укрепления? Стоит ли уходить в глухую оборону? Всегда ищите контрудар. Тонкий промежуточный укол может изменить ход борьбы! Если ваши фигуры сгрудились на небольшом пространстве и мешают друг другу добраться до короля противника – решите, кому пора идти на штурм королевской крепости, и освободите пространство фигуре для атаки. Короля всегда нужно защищать в первую очередь. Используйте это обстоятельство и совершите открытое нападение на него и другие фигуры. И тогда жернова вашей «мельницы» перемелют все вражеское войско. Казалось бы, король противника надежно прикрыт своей свитой. Но под мощным рентгеновским лучом ваших линейных фигур в позиции соперника сразу обнаружатся трещины и дыры!
