The Basis of Combination in Chess by J. du Mont is a classical instructional work focused on explaining the fundamental principles behind chess combinations.
The book teaches that combinations are not random tactical ideas, but arise from clear positional factors such as weak squares, unprotected pieces, king exposure, and forced moves.
Du Mont emphasizes the importance of recognizing the building blocks of tactics, including threats, sacrifices, and forcing sequences like checks, captures, and attacks.
Rather than presenting only puzzles, the book explains the thought process behind discovering combinations, helping readers understand how strong players identify tactical opportunities in real positions.
It also covers common tactical patterns such as pins, forks, skewers, and discovered attacks, showing how these ideas emerge naturally from positional weaknesses.
A foundational resource for beginners to intermediate players aiming to improve tactical awareness, calculation ability, and understanding of how combinations are created in practical chess play.
