Chess Tactics - Volume 1

An essential part of improving at chess is working on your tactical ability. Tactics occur at every level of chess but once the players become stronger the elements invoved in spotting the puzzles tend to become more complex and deeper, whereas, among weaker players, elementary skewers, forks, and deadly pins are more frequent visitors.

In this volume, you will find 404 tactical puzzles at all levels of difficulty, from mundane to industrial strength. Each puzzle features an indication of the level of difficulty as well as a hint for those who need it. The thoroughly annotated solutions will further guide the reader to become much more proficient in this important aspect of the game.
