An advanced club player must look deeper!In this follow-up to his acclaimed 1001 Chess Exercise
for Club Players FIDE Master Frank Erwich teaches you how to reach the next level of
identifying weak spots in the position of your opponent recognizing patterns of combinations
visualizing tricks and calculating effectively.Erwich repeats the themes of his previous book
focusing on exercises in which the key move is less obvious. He also introduces new more
sophisticated tactical weapons. They are geared towards the reality of the advanced club player
(Elo 1800 2300): it is not enough to spot simple combinations at this level you must be able
to resist your reflexes and look deeper.In variations that look forcing you will always search
for that deadly Zwischenzug. Quiet moves in general should be your new best friends. In short:
an advanced club player should expect the unexpected. One of the celebrated elements of Erwichs
previous book which is neglected in other books on tactics is back: defence! You will also
learn how to defend against tactics as well as how to use tactical weapons when you are under
heavy pressure.This is a complete and structured course and not just a collection of
freewheeling puzzles. Erwich starts every chapter with an instructive explanation of the
tactical concept at hand and has carefully selected the most didactically productive exercises.
