«Practical Chess Defence», de Jacob Aagaard (tapa blanda)

Practical Chess Defence by Jacob Aagaard is an English-language chess training book on practical defence, with clear guidance for handling difficult positions under pressure.

Modern chess has changed the way players think about defence, and Aagaard focuses on the practical side of that challenge: finding resources when a position looks unpleasant, staying composed and spotting chances the opponent may miss.

What’s inside

The book offers concrete advice on different defensive methods, together with 200 exercises designed to sharpen calculation and decision-making at the board. It is serious training material rather than light reading, aimed at ambitious players who want to improve their defensive technique and assess risk more accurately.

Practical Chess Defence is also useful for attacking players, since understanding the opponent’s defensive resources is an important part of creating and converting pressure.
