Customer Reviews

An Excellent mix of exercises.
For a strong amateur / intermediate player like myself, this book was well worth investing in! The exercises in this book are a mixture of mating combinations, strategy (pawn breaks etc.), tactics, endgame training and defense all of which can occur in a normal game of chess. The exercises in this book are some of the most helpful and practical that I have tried to date.

What I liked most of all about this book is that Cheng frequently shows you positions that look tactically promising, tempting you into attack. Often these tactics don't actually work because of the tactics against you! These problems certainly make you check and double check the position, just as in a real game. I thoroughly recommend this book to all budding intermediates ...
