Css is is!
If this celebrated observation is true for the master, how much moreso for the beginner and cub player.
By far and away, the quickest and most effective way to improve your
chess performance is to increase your tactical skill so that at a glance
you are able to see the typica mating patterns and material-winning
tactical motifs that so often decide a game There is no doubt that the
best way to acquire good tactical vision is to do exercises that teach you
to recognise the tactical building blocks that make up every
combination This book focuses on the crucial positions that every chess
player must know It cannot be stressed enough that a knowledge of
strategy is of litte use if you have not first mastered the fundamentals
of tactics
This book starts with hundreds of essential mating positions that train
immediate visual recognition; first there are the easier mate in one or
two move exercises; then there are exercises for various crucia tactica
motifs that must be mastered by any aspiring chess player; these are
followed by more demanding positions where these various motifs are
often combined.
Whie the easier problems can be soved without a chess board, we
suggest that for the more difficult ones you set up the positions on a
board and try to find the solution as if you were playing a real game
You shoud therefore not touch or move the pieces before having made
your decision, perhaps writing down the possible variations before you
check the solutions at the back of the book.
The introductions to each chapter are particularly instructive It is
here that we explain the ideas behind crucial tactica motifs such as
double attack, the pin and skewer, as wel as pawn promotion, drawing
techniques, etc.
This book is intended not only for personal use, but aso as a course
text book We have thus consuted leading teachers and masters with
extensive training experience working in chess academies and club
courses so as to best identify the most productive positions and
exercises to use
