Tactimania is a chess puzzle book with a difference. Grandmaster Glenn
Flear makes sure the puzzles are unfamiliar to the reader by selecting
them only from games played by himself or his wife Christine. The
puzzles start at a moderate level then get steadily more difficult. The
reader will be challenged by the puzzles and entertained by the
manga-style illustrations that feature throughout. Glenn Flear is a
respected chess grandmaster, author and coach. Early in his career,
Glenn achieved one of the greatest-ever chess surprises when, as a
last-minute substitute, he won the London 1986 tournament ahead of a
host of famous players. Glenn and Christine married during this event!
Christine is a five-time French Women's Champion and their son James, a
computer artist, created the illustrations.
