Seize The Moment And Snatch The Advantage

One perfectly timed maneuver can tip the game in your favor.

In part two of their hit series, Grandmaster Yasser Seirawan and International Master Jeremy Silman show how you can become that hawk-eyed player, who can see Winning Chess Tactics from a mile away.
