Master your tactics with the Scandinavian Defense. This book brings you 1000 real-game puzzles from the Scandinavian Defense, focused on the 1200-1800 Elo range.

What you’ll get inside: • 1000 carefully selected puzzles from real Scandinavian Defense games • Training designed for 1200-1800 Elo players • A balance of tactical themes: mates, winning tactics, traps, and in-between moves • Both sides of the opening — improve whether you play the Scandinavian Defense or fight against it • A clear path to sharpen your calculation and tactical awareness This volume is part of the Tactics by Opening series, built to help players improve quickly and effectively.
