My favorite was an old book called "New Traps In The Chess Opening" by Al Horowitz. It is not algebraic, so be warned. A newer book, but one that I have never seen is, "Chess Openings: Traps And Zaps" by Bruce Pandolfini. amazon.com/Chess-Openings-Traps-Fireside-Library/dp/0671656902/… There is also a second volume. | |

| Jan 27, 2020 at 14:46 | comment | added | Marcelo | ''A theorem of chess is that you must be better to "attack", or even to apply pressure in a specific area of the board, you have to be better in that area'' books don't often let that clear enough for me (some books I read even had matches where fischer won a pawn where he was weaker with no tactics! but fischer is fischer), thanks for making it more clear! | |

| Jan 27, 2020 at 14:37 | comment | added | Marcelo | Of course that with perfect play It is impossible to get a pawn for free. However, it seems that even with ''more than good but not perfect'' play it is hard, but not impossible, to win a pawn. IM Silman gives a good example here: chess.com/article/view/test-your-positional-chess - PUZZLE 3; And I think I saw even on easy example of how to win a pawn in ''the middle state of the opening'' by the youtuber chessnetwork. Though in the example gived by chessnetwork one of the players played badly (not that bad). But thanks for your answer anyway! | |
