Startling Correspondence Chess Miniatures
by Tim Harding

This collection of 100 entertaining and instructive short games contains a wealth of opening tricks and middle-game tactics played by email or post. All the games in the book end within 25 moves, the standard definition for a miniature game. Some games speak for themselves and have light notes, while the critical moments of other games are analyzed in depth. The notes to the games include numerous explanations (and corrections!) of opening theory, with many little-known sidelines and traps.

As well as the 100 main annotated games, there are a further 20 complete games in the notes and twelve further games presented as tactical exercises for the reader to solve. Enjoy masterpieces by great players of the past and present - a fine book with something for everyone!
