1001 Chess Exercises for Club Players: The Tactics Workbook that Also Explains All Key Concepts

Another excellent chess tactics workbook for amateurs/club level players, also, understanding the key concepts, I highly recommend this workbook.

I'm almost done w this book. Took a very long time but I learned a lot. Favorite chapter is Pawn Promotion, the exercises helped me win many games. The draw puzzles are also very helpful but I found them insanely difficult. If you read this book, don't spend more than 5-10 minutes on a puzzle, as some of the solutions were missed by the grandmasters whose games they're from.

This book has many interesting tactical exercises and the explanations at the beginning of each chapters are entertaining and clear

This book arrived 3 days ago and I have looked through the content and tried some of the examples and puzzles. They are well organized and include new topics such as stalemate and other. This book is vey updated, examples and explanations are clear and efficient. This is a good addition to my 2 older tactic books I.e.: raymond edwards “chess tactics and attacking techniques” and Chernev & Reinfeld “winning chess”. I am sure this book can help improve me in my future chess games. 1 month after starting with the exercises, I have covered about half of exercises in most chapters, and I cannot help but write additional review that this book is so fantastic and fresh. So much higher and interesting than I originally expected. Many thanks to the great writer.

I like the book, it will keep me busy in the times of coronavirus.

Fun tactics! Great for my level!

This would have been a 5/5 star review if it wasn’t for the fact that the diagrams are tiny and hard to see on the kindle version. Moreover, clicking the link to take you to the solution for your problem is clunky, and would be better to just have the solution on the next page of the question. Would be great if there was also a board on the solution page. Overall, good content but seriously held back buy the terrible kindle version. Should format this book just like the kindle versions of “Tatics Time”

You got it, needed a magnifying glass to make out pieces at my age. Seniors will not be able to use and younger will surely need glasses. Two good teaching examples of a good buy with exercises is Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess by the master, and Everyone’s First Chess Workbook by Peter Giannatos. If you are intermediate and more advanced player look for books with no more than two exercise boards per page. More does not mean better, quality pays off. This review is not intended to criticize positive reviews, but instead feedback for others to consider before buying as well as what future authors should consider for producing a best seller. I would prefer less exercises in a book in larger print than one with more smaller print exercises.

the chest book arrived in very good time had a good look at it will sea how it go's

Content, Quality, Subject everything is excellent for all levels.

Das Buch hält, was es verspricht: Aufgaben für Vereinsspieler zwischen ELO 1500-2000 (wo ich mich auch befinde). Sie sind meist nicht länger als 4-5 Züge, die aber nicht trivial sind. Jedes Kapitel konzentriert sich auf ein Motiv (z.B. elimination of the defence, pin, draw, promotion, defence), außer dem letzten ("mix", mit 150 Aufgaben). Die Lösungen werden eher kompakt gehalten, sind aber gut verständlich und decken das Wesentliche ab, auf gut 50 Seiten. Die verwendeten Begriffe werden anhand von schönen, zweckmäßigen Beispielen eingeführt. Die angegebene Spielstärke ist m.E. realistisch, vorausgesetzt wird also, dass man die Grundlagen der Taktik schon kennt, entweder aus Büchern oder aus der Praxis. Die allermeisten Beispiele sind ziemlich neu oder wenig bekannt (z.B. Rossolimo-Romanenko 1948, Aufgabe 83). Angeblich sind die Aufgaben grob nach steigender Schwierigkeit sortiert: Das kann ich noch nicht abschließend beurteilen, aber meine ersten Eindrücke sind positiv; man merkt, dass der Autor sorgfältig und systematisch gearbeitet hat. Es sollte also möglich sein, z.B. nur die zweite Hälfte der Aufgaben zu bearbeiten, wenn einem die erste Hälfte zu leicht ist. Bis jetzt ist mir kein schwacher Punkt aufgefallen, ggf. werde ich diese Rezension ergänzen!

Me ha gustado la exposición progresiva de los diferentes temas tácticos. Y con 1000 problemas que lo convierte en un tratado extenso e inagotable. Aunque esté en inglés los conceptos claves son muy fáciles de entender.

With a few other basic endgame books enough to improve your chess
