Description
A complete course for club and tournament players
Chess is 99% tactics. This celebrated observation is not only true for beginners, but also for club players (Elo 1500 – 2000). If you want to win more games, nothing is better than training your combination skills.
There are two types of books on tactics: those that introduce the concepts followed by some examples, and workbooks that include lots of exercises. FIDE Master Frank Erwich has done both: he explains all the key tactical ideas AND gives an enormous amount of exercises for each different subject.
Erwich has created a complete tactics book for aspiring club and tournament players. He leads you to the next level of identifying weak spots in the position of your opponent, recognizing patterns of combinations, visualizing tricks and calculating effectively. Erwich has also gave a new and important element: tests that will upgrade your defensive skills.
1001 Chess Exercises for Club Players is not a freewheeling collection of puzzles. It serves as a course text book, because only the most didactically productive exercises are presented. Every chapter begin with easy examples, but don’t worry: the level of difficulty will gradually increase.
Frank Erwich is a FIDE Master and an experienced chess trainer from the Netherlands.
“An extremely useful training manual. Many club players will benefit.” — International Master Herman Grooten, Schaaksite
