Features: This book addresses the common pitfalls that amateur players often encounter during each stage of a game (opening, middle game, endgame). It highlights many frequent mistakes and points out that due to poor review and summary skills, the same errors are repeated without improvement, making it difficult to advance in skill level. In light of this, the author has attempted to write a book that explores these pitfalls, corrects mistakes, and benefits a wide range of chess enthusiasts. All the game examples in this book are drawn from actual matches. Careful readers can find "their own" games in the diagrams. The majority (80%) are amateur games, while the rest are practical games from professional players. To avoid making the entire book appear "riddled with errors," the author has included a section titled "A Moment of Fragrance" in the middle game chapter and added "Exquisite Endgames" in the endgame chapter. Additionally, ten typical practical games are appended at the end for readers to appreciate and learn from.
