by Gabriel Velasco, 299pp. (1999 Chess Digest)

These 659 games (most annotated) are an attempt to gather the best efforts of Marcel Sisniega at the chessboard, many of which are really extraordinary works of art. Like his mentor, Carlos Torre, attacking is the style of this Mexican grandmaster. “His games are often characterized by a very lively and enterprising style, the direct attack against the king being a salient feature in his style. As far as tactics and combinative play was concerned, Sisniega really excelled and produced many beautiful masterpieces and breathtaking short games..” – Gabriel Velasco.

This grandmaster is your contemporary - you will learn the art of attack, sacrifices and combinations from him. Openings and games indexed as well as his opponents. A great book with lots of text to involve you.

Velasco is also the author of the highly acclaimed The Life & Games of Carlos Torre.
