Zenon Franco has regularly annotated top-level games for more than a quarter of a century. He has drawn upon this vast experience to present 50 hugely instructive games illustrating a wide variety of chess ideas.

Topics include: - Pawn Sacrifice - Exchange Sacrifice - The Art of Manoeuvring - The Second Weakness - Permanent vs. Temporary Advantages - Regrouping - "Strange" Exchanges - Denying the Opponent Squares - The Central Breakthrough.
