About this book

Ten mistakes. Ten fixes.

The ten mistakes, one chapter each: hanging pieces, back-rank mates, forks, pins and skewers, stalemating with an extra queen and more.
200 puzzles with every answer explained: 177 from real games played online, 23 composed endings, all checked by a chess engine.
The rules you think you know, basic mates, the Four-Second Blunder Check and a Post-Mortem Log for your own games.
