    This book can be considered as three in one: firstly, it is a collection of various, but often typical, traps found both in the opening and in the middle of the game, and in the endgame. Secondly, this book – a primer on tactics, as traps almost always rely on clever tactical strikes. Finally, thirdly, – this book can also be a solution book; for this you need to look for tactical strikes possible in positions on the diagrams yourself, without looking at the text. Traps in chess – The topic is incredibly fascinating.

This book will help you do both. Working with the book will improve the results of a chess player of any qualification.
