The Winning Way is about winning chess games-quickly, in the

first ten or twelve moves. In this sense its an opening book, presenting variations by standard beginning moves. To win quickly, you need to rely on tactical maneuvers-sudden attacks

and threats such as forks, pins, and skewers. So The Winning Way is also about tactics. I trust you will find it handy to have both an opening book and a tactical book in this
