 Due to constraints of this book, the authors have decided to classify the different tactical combinations into the following list:

• a) Tactical Combinations involving the Central Cannon,
• b) Tactical Combinations involving the Double Cannons,
• c) Tactical Combinations involving the Bottom Ranked Cannons,
• d) Tactical Combinations involving the Horse at the Flank , and
• e) Tactical Combinations involving the Elbow Horse.
