520    What, really, is a chess combination? It is a maneuver 
       generally employing surprise and a sacrifice, in which 
       pieces work together to bring about a sudden advantage. It
       is perhaps the most aesthetically satisfying and 
       successful technique in the game. Some players believe 
       that the combination is a spontaneous creation with no 
       guiding laws; the possibility springs up in the mind like 
       a flash of genius. In this classic work, however, Znosko-
       Borovsky proves that combinations can be studied. He 
       demonstrates conclusively that they need not be a 
       haphazard occurrence, but may be prepared for as an 
       integral part of a player's game. The great modern teacher
       begins by examining the games of master players, including
       Capablanca, Alekhine, Rubinstein, Nimzovich, Tarrasch, 
       Reti, Mason, Morphy, Bird, Euwe, Emanuel Lasker, etc. The 
       games are grouped according to common features, and 
       perceptively analyzed to determine what conclusions may be
       drawn. Znosko-Borovsky shows that every combination, 
       however complicated, begins in a simple idea, such as an 
       undefended piece, the bad position of the hostile king, 
       the promotion of a pawn, or a discovered check. The Art of
       Chess Combination will improve the game of anyone who 
       knows how to move individual pieces but finds it hard to 
       plan many moves ahead to make the pieces work together. 
       The exposition is easily understood; technical terms are 
       almost completely avoided but clarity and precision 
       remain. "In the teaching of chess he may claim to have no 
       superior." — Philip W. Sergeant.
