Chess Tactics for Beginners 1

When he was just a beginner himself, the young author of this volume (who did well both in the Junior European Championship, and in the Junior World Championship), owed his own rapid progress largely to a thorough study of types of positions similar to those shown in this book of his.

The acquirement of the essential concepts of chess (such as the simple kinds of mates in one, two and three moves, the various sorts of winning material, the double attacks, the pawn promotions, and the characteristic types of combinations) is assisted by 10 x 48 diagrams, which also develop the skill of the pupils desirous to learn by the fact that the author sets them the task of solving various chess problems.

This volume is an essential aid both for children liking (and learning) chess, and for inexperienced grownup chess players.
