About this product

Product Information

In 1988, his autobiography ?The Grass Arena? catapulted John Healy to worldwide literary fame. That harrowing tale described how Healy by discovering chess, escaped alcoholism, violence and crime. Many fans have wondered how Healy did as a chess player. In this book Healy uses over a hundred of his own games to show how unusual tactics or defensive motifs can turn the tide in any position. Along with the games the author describes in eloquent but brutal language the beautiful, sometimes terrible world of chess. The prologue ?Blood Sport? is a fine piece of vintage Healy non-fiction. A must-buy book for chess lovers, tactics buffs and Healy fans.

  • Coffeehouse Chess Tactics by John Healy (A review)

    A very good book in showing the real world of competitive chess. All of the examples in the book are from the author's own games. Many interesting games with many surprising outcomes. There are some test exercises to solve from the author's actual games themselves. A good, instructive, tactics book for the mid-range chessplayer.
