The ChessCafe Puzzle Book Volume 1 CD

The ChessCafe Puzzle Book CD

This chess software CD contains the same material as the printed book. German Grandmaster Karsten MÌ?ller combines clear discussions of tactical themes with over 600 well-chosen chess positions to test, challenge and teach. Although the classic combinations are not ignored, the great emphasis is on positions from modern tournament practice of the last decade.

"I strongly believe that tactics is a very important part of the game of chess; the conscientious study and application of tactical principles have helped my sisters and me a great deal throughout our careers. I absolutely agree with the well-known maxim: 'Chess is 99% tactics.'"

"This book offers every type of tactical motif imaginable, from the more common back rank mates, pins, skewers, forks and the like up to and including some of the most beautiful and rare combinations. This is a tactical book that will prove exceptionally useful for a wide range of players, intermediate through master strength and even beyond. I can heartily give this book two thumbs up. It will help you develop and improve your tactical skills tremendously." -From the Foreword by Women's World Champion, International Grandmaster Susan Polgar.
