Table of Contents

One Move And You're Dead! chooses the most dynamic and destructive tactical patterns, positions where the winning move forces instant checkmate, resignation or decisive advantage. Quite often such climaxes are the result of sustained and prolonged attacking pressure, and the final move may be make or break, where the winner has already burnt boats by sacrificing material. You have to choose the one move that causes the destruction of your partner.
