3.0 out of 5 stars Meh..., January 17, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Chess Traveller's Quiz Book (Paperback)
200 tactical puzzles grouped into 12 chapters. Most are checkmates, but Hodgson doesn't tip his hand with anything other than "White to play and win" and so forth.

These are fairly challenging, more suitable for an 1800 than a 1400. They also become more difficult as the book goes on. Hodgson has his own scoring and rating system which, unlike most books I've seen, is quite harsh. I lost almost all my points by taking too long to solve the problems.

Cadogan quality (i.e., glued bindings; it won't last). Big diagrams (only 4/page). Thorough solutions. Figurine algebraic.
