One Thousand and One Winning Chess Sacrifices and - download pdf or read online

By Fred Reinfeld

First-class publication chock-full of tactical routines, from beautiful effortless to fairly tricky. in basic terms drawbacks are:

a) ebook is labeled into "themes". most sensible to take a magic marker and blot out the subject under, or simply open it at any web page and canopy the topic. it is easy adequate to grasp there's a tactical blow (unlike our games!); no use to assist us additional by way of telling us what sort of tactic to seem for!

b) the various positions are too "swarming" with items. frequently, our video games should not so choked with 4-piece assaults at the king the place strategies are obvious.
I imagine a number of the positions are "elaborations" from online game occasions, and never reasonable. notwithstanding, many are relatively realistic-looking.

c) descriptive notation--oh good, very minor drawback.

Lazlo Polgar's large combos e-book inclues six hundred "miniature video games" the place there's a tactical shot that's often a section tougher to work out than Reinfeld's positions. yet that e-book too additionally lists issues like g2/g7 or f3/f6 on the most sensible of the web page.

But changing into a tactical chess wiz is all approximately spotting tactical styles, so this e-book is a vintage and must-have for tacticians.

Just as soon as, i might prefer to see a ebook of random positions, the place you need to pick out the simplest movement (and the easiest movement is particularly transparent, selected via masters), and the stream might be strategic or tactical. Larry Evans comes shut, yet he nonetheless provides 2 offerings in his books, and lots of of his positions are a section too challenging.
