Raise You Rating,
By Jeff DiOrio (Wheaton, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: World Champion Combinations (World Champion Series) (Paperback)
This book was an outstanding help in my quest for better tactical skills. The diagrams and excellent writing allowed for quick improvement. If you go over a few pages a day your chess rating will rise at least 100 points. Within a few days you will see a large improvement in your tactical ability. You will see the board better and you will win more games!

Not Worth it,
By "debdamore" (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: World Champion Combinations (World Champion Series) (Paperback)
This book is simply not worth it if, of course, you're not under 900. I got the book for free, so it didn't really matter with me, however, the tactics in the book are very elementrary, so I would not have payed more than five dollars on it. I learned nothing more from this book on combinations than I did in any other beginner's chess book

CAVEAT EMPTOR!!!,
By Goodman Delver "slander27" (Austin, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: World Champion Combinations (World Champion Series) (Paperback)
Raymond Keene stopped writing original books on chess as long ago as ARON NIMZOVICH: A REAPPRAISAL (1975); Eric Schiller's work has been described by late GM Tony Miles as "utter crap". To quote chess historian Edward Winter, "Recycling old trash into new trash is a notorious book-spawning trick of Keene's... Only Keene and Schiller can make copying look so difficult." AND the book sorely needs basic editing which was omitted in the haste of making it. Ask any chess master about this book, if you don't believe me! Get yourself a good book on tactics like the Reinfeld 1001 series instead. (I am a USCF 1800 OTB player.) My rating for this book? ZERO STARS. Save your money.
