## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great Learning Tool for Tactical training...
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 7, 2021*

As others have mentioned this two book series is a serious step up from the typical  format for chess tactics instruction. While giving you a variety of chess positions to analyze for tactical opportunities it also gives you solutions which contain detailed analyses of the position in question and what features present lend themselves for the tactical move sequence to occur in the first place. Has wonderful, non jargon laden explanation of each example given. Gives you experience not only spotting tactical opportunities but also how to create the positional features that lend themselves to promising combination. Best two books for the average club player to become proficient in chess tactics!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent! Clear writing, many examples.
  

*by J***H on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 5, 2022*

The book is organized to focus on each method (e.g., knight fork) with many examples and variations.  The author clearly explains each example in language well-suited to the beginner to intermediate level chess player.  Highly recommended!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A NEW APPROACH TO TACTICAL WORK
  

*by S***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 22, 2013*

The author makes a great attempt to dumb down a position and dissect all the tactical elements no matter how obvious or elementary. This is great for those in the area of classes E and C. However as a player exceeds that level some of these thought processes do tend to happen AUTOMATICALLY in your head. And if that ends up happening as a result of this book, then the book has exceeded its expectations! Overall I recommend the work for Beginners (who will derive the most out of it) and up to intermediate players (they should know how to solve most of these; but will act as a great review for them especially if they are not too fond of tactics). Advanced players 1800 + ELO ,may find the explanations annoying and elementary since they automatically see the functions of each piece, and the explantions are written in such a way that it conveys the piece function as a revelation.I also endorse the idea of using this type of explanation while solving positions that you don't understand...since it definitely had an effect on my own games as well as some of my peers.
