Improve Your Vision, Sharpen Your Talons, Forget Your Fear
Is your natural instinct at the chessboard for caution and strategy or do you crave adventure and confrontation?

Cyrus Lakdawala does something no other chess writer has done before: he makes you reflect deeply about your style of play and its consequences. After reading Chess for Hawks you will be a stronger player because you have mastered an essential but neglected skill: you will know how to obey the position's requirements instead of your natural inclination.
