Chess puzzle books are undoubtedly popular - and with good reason.
Solving chess puzzles helps to sharpen a player's tactical and
combinational skills. This ability is absolutely fundamental for
chess development. You won't get better at tennis until you can
consistently hit the ball with accuracy and you won't get better at
chess until you improve your ability to calculate. It is that
simple and there are no shortcuts. Many puzzle books take a far too
simplistic approach and offer endless positions where the solution
is nearly always along the lines of: queen takes something check,
king takes queen, check, check and a pretty mate. Aesthetically
pleasing perhaps but of minimal use for actual improvement as the
patterns are so familiar. Practical Chess Puzzles avoids this
pitfall. The positions chosen are far more like those that actually
appear on the board during the vast majority of games. Furthermore,
at all stages, the puzzles are ranked, enabling the student to
gauge progress and identify and correct weaknesses. * 600 puzzles
featuring instructive, typically "game-like" positions * A ranking
system to assess progress.
