1001 Chess Exercises for Club Players.

Descripción

1001 Chess Exercises for Club Players, 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.

1001 Chess Exercises for Club Players

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.

The Tactics Workbook that Also Explains All the Key Concepts

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.

John Upham (British Chess News)

«It was a pleasure to work through the exercises and they provided ideas for my student lessons and coaching.»

IM Herman Grooten, Schaaksite

“An extremely useful training manual. Many club players will benefit.”

GM Simen Agdestein, VG Daily News

“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 Matthew Sadler, award-winning author of Chess for Life

“I was very impressed by the range of positions that Erwich selected. A good book of its kind! Four stars!”
