I have three in the series, but need the tactics book. There are two versions / editions, published about 2 years apart. What was updated and revised in the new edition to distinguish it from the old? Is it worth paying extra for it?

Just get the new one. I don't have the old one, but the new one can't be worse.Attacking chess is pretty good, but it doesn't cover everything.

How much is the difference? $

You could go to amazon or some other site and look at the first couple pages of both and compare but it should be the same almost.

Winning Chess Series Books are amazing.

Wow, thats huge, buy the first one and then get art of attack with the extra money.

But check online and see what the difference is between the two. Usually there is a major difference.
