Description:

Test your tactical and positional chess skills with this quiz book! Two leading experts have carefully assembled an abundance of chess puzzles to test players of all levels. At the beginning of each chapter the puzzles are relatively easy, worth five points for a correct solution. However as you move on they become more and more difficult, soon becoming worth ten points and eventually 15. If players get stuck, help is at hand! Readers can 'ask a grandmaster' to obtain the guidance they need to help solve the puzzles. However, they have to use this option carefully, as it will cost them some of their hard-earned points. Either on their own or with friends, this book will provide hours of brain-teasing enjoyment.

  • Includes puzzles for all levels
  • Grandmaster hints to help readers through the most taxing puzzles
  • Unique scoring system enables players to monitor their progress through the book

i felt like this book was a well-composed list of helpful positional problems - just as it set out to be. if you ever feel like you are in the middle of your game and do not know what to do next (no tactics present), then you should consider studying the material in here.

This book presents a colletion of positional puzzles to solve. They are boxed into tests each one with its solutions, so you can rate yourself. From easy to difficult. It is nice to learn positional patterns.
