1001 Chess Exercises for Club Players - Frank Erwich Kartoniert (TB)

Chess is 99% tactics. This celebrated observation is not only true for beginners but also for club players (Elo 1500 - 2000). If you want to win more games nothing works better than training your combination skills. There are two types of books on tactics: those that introduce the concepts followed by some examples and workbooks that contain lots of exercises. FIDE Master Frank Erwich has done both: he explains all the key tactical ideas AND provides an enormous amount of exercises for each different theme. Erwich has created a complete tactics book for ambitious club and tournament players . He takes you to the next level of identifying weak spots in the position of your opponent recognizing patterns of combinations visualizing tricks and calculating effectively. Erwich has also included a new and important element: tests that will improve your defensive skills. 1001 Chess Exercises for Club Players is not a freewheeling collection of puzzles. It serves as a course text book because only the most didactically productive exercises are featured. Every chapter starts with easy examples but don't worry: the level of difficulty will steadily increase.
