Description:
365 Ways To Checkmate is a 160 page paperback chess book written by Grandmaster Joe Gallagher and comes from Gambit Publication.
Joe Gallagher provides 365 checkmate puzzles to help readers sharpen their skills. In each position, the task is to find a way to force a clear-cut win. The theme is always checkmate--either the enemy king perishes, or can only be saved at a decisive cost in material.
Grandmaster Joe Gallagher is ideally qualified to write on this subject. Throughout his career, he has been especially feared for his attacking ability and tactical skills. The puzzles, most of which have never before been published, are grouped into categories, starting with easier positions and working up to more difficult ones. Full solutions are given, and all the positions have been carefully checked for alternative solutions and for soundness of the actual solution.
Joe Gallagher is an English grandmaster who has lived in Switzerland for many years, and is a regular member of the Swiss national team. He has established a reputation as a top-class chess writer, in particular for his work on aggressive openings such as the King's Gambit, Sicilian and King's Indian Defense. Gallagher is a co-author of the one-volume openings encyclopedia Nunn's Chess Openings, and won the British Championship in 2001
