| One Thousand and One Winning Chess Sacrifices and Combinations |
Fred Reinfeld |
ISBN: 0879801115, Paperback - BUY
Consisting of 1001 diagrammed positions, the book calls for the reader to find the sequence of moves that leads to a win for either Black or White. The diagrams are organized by tactical theme (i.e. pin, fork, x-ray, etc.), and thus give the reader a hint as to the solution. There is no indication as to difficulty, and order of appearance in the chapter seems to have nothing to do with it. The benefits of this are obvious. Here is a book which can be stashed in one's pocket and taken anywhere, and studied without the benefit of a chessboard. Solving these diagrams can, and in most cases will, greatly improve the tactics of any player, and may help the more advanced player keep his or her tactical eye sharp.
