"The easiest, quickest and most effective way to improve your overall
game is to increase your tactical vision. Many good positions are lost
because a key moment is passed by and a player misses the opportunity to
win by a beautiful combination. This book is designed simply to help you
improve your play by seeing tactics better." - Martyn Kravtsiv
Written along similar lines to Gambit's earlier Ultimate Chess Puzzle
Book, this new work presents 600 puzzles, mostly from the last two
years, that are chosen for instructive value and maximum training
benefit. To ensure that few will be familiar to readers, Kravtsiv has
deliberately chosen positions from obscure games or from analysis. If
you find the right answers, it will be because you worked them out
yourself!
The solutions feature plenty of verbal explanations of the key points,
and cover most of the logical but incorrect answers. The book is
completed with a set of 'no clues' tests, and an index of themes that
will be useful to coaches and those looking to focus on specific aspects
of tactics - or just seeking extra clues!
