Has everyone studied (or used) this classic at least early in their chess lives? mine is battered and yellowed with age but I would certainly have to assume i still use ideas/tactics i first learned in this book still in every game i play ... really a true classic imho
Yes. It is a great primer on chess tactics. One of the very best books for the beginner thru intermediate player to study. Batsford has recently published a new edition.
