| "First you should learn to make combinations" -Reti
"Chess is 99% tactics" -Teichmann
These quotes are fully appropriate today. In our modern era in which many
chess opening and middlegame positions are guided by sophisticated stratagems, the
iron fist of tactical blows is still inevitably the final arbiter of the result.
After all, what good is it to play chess well up to a point and then falter when the
opportunity for a winning combination presents itself? Perhaps even more
discouraging is to be shocked by unforeseen tactics from a wily opponent.
This book is an easier version of
Combination Challenge! It contains 535 one- two- and three-move
combinations to solve and teaches a study method for learning to play
combinative chess. This is the quickest and easiest way to improve your chess
rapidly.
Armed with the various chess tactical devices shown here you cannot help but play
with increased vigor, gaining more chess victories than ever before in the dashing
combinative style.
