Most player prefer to attack, resulting in defensive techniques being the weakest part of their game.  

There are a number of methods playing against an attacker, which include passive defence, simplification, blockade, stalemate, or a trap. 

Alternatively, a player can defend actively or launch a counterattack. 

These and many other techniques are described in this thoroughly practical book.
