For the true chess nut, the 64 squares of the chessboard represent a world of imaginative possibilities, where a bright idea can make the difference between triumph and destruction, victory and defeat. Each of these puzzles re-creates that world, putting the reader into a realistic game position with the tantalizing challenge of finding that elusive winning idea. By taking on the challenge of these problems, you will gain mastery of the many tactics of chess: the pin, the fork, the skewer, simplification, removing the guard, and so on. Ranked in three levels of difficulty—beginner, intermediate, and tournament—the puzzles will help build the mental muscles the game demands, while providing hours of fun for players of all abilities.

Buyer Beware,

Buyer Beware. This is old wine in a new bottle and I consider it a cheap trick. The authors have repackaged (note the South Park type cover) two of their previous 303 Tactical Puzzles books. There is nothing in the book that indicates that the book is a combination of their previously published books. The puzzles are great and if you don't have either of their books, buy this book, it's a bargain. But don't be mislead into believing that these are new puzzles. Shame on Sterling Press.

This is a great book for developing tactical skills and strategies. I found the problem-solving to be very stimulating mental exercise and fun to do as well.
