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.

1001 Chess Exercises for Advanced Club Players 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 Erwich’s 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.

PRAISE FOR 1001 Chess Exercises for Club Players:

“An extremely useful training manual. Many club players will benefit.” IM Herman Grooten, Schaaksite

“Good work! Lots of exercises, not many words, just what I like. The chapter on defence, in particular, is very

clever. One is so accustomed to attacking combinations, but tactics can be used in defence as well.” GM Simen
