Tactics Time! 1001 Chess Tactics from the Games of Everyday Chess Players Description
Warning: This book could help you improve your chess game
significantly.
"Imagine having a personal chess mentor, who teaches you thorough problem solving skills for playing chess that drastically improves your game..." Wouldn't that be fantastic? It would also be extremely expensive!
Learning the basic rules of playing chess is
only the beginning. Although it is great to play games for entertainment, many chess players want to take their game to the
next level. But that is not that easy. Just playing might improve your chess proficiency, but it does not improve your
problem solving skills, as that requires different thinking processes. To develop those processes, you need
strategies developed by
chess experts.
Meet Tim and Anthea. They
know what it takes to bring chess to the next level, as they have done that for themselves. How? Through the use of
chess tactics. And NOW... it is your turn!
Let Tim and Anthea assist you in
improving your chess game by using their specially developed Chess Tactics ebook. This is
not just another tactics books, as Tim and Anthea have
perfected their ebook by learning from the mistakes other chess authors made. The
great part of Tactics Time! 1001 Chess Tactics from the Games of Everyday Chess Players is that:
- it is error FREE and double checked!
- it contains original tactics 100% new;
- it consists of tactics from real chess players.
Many chess books have
cool problems and patterns that really are rare and unrealistic, and not needed. Although these are fun to play, they are
not really the best way to improve your chess game. That is why
this book is different as Tim and Anthea want you to
focus on getting good at playing patterns that happen all the time.
But that is not all. Tim and Anthea have chosen to make their ebook
very easy to read, leaving out unnecessary information or page fillers. You will see one chess problem per page, with the solution presented to you on the next page. No more need to skip back and forth through the whole book to find that brain wrecking solution.
If the following applies to you...
- You want to improve your game to win;
- You want to enjoy chess tactics from real games;
- You are frustrated with other chess tactics books;
- You have a busy life and are looking for a quick and proven way to improve;

This book is my kind of chess book. The authors give literally one thousand examples of real world chess games at the moment that a power shift should have happened but didn't. The key here is that I'm looking at real-world games. The tactics puzzles that I so often see are manufactured to show something or prove a point. Because these are taken from real games, from players ranked as high as the 2000s they are created from situations that I often face.
I'm popping this book open on my kindle whenever I had a spare minute. It's perfect on the subway or waiting in at the grocer. The solution is on the next page so my eyes can't drift to the answer. That's the beauty of an ebook and the authors have used the format to its best effect. If it was paper, it would be 9,400 pages!
One of the greatest features is the search. If I want to see all the puzzles that involve a knight taking a piece, I just had to search for "Nx" and I had every single example.
I'm not close to finished but wanted to recognize and recommend a detailed and thorough book.

The concept is good: lots of different games at the amateur level with all the themes mixed together.
However, many of the games are taken from fast and stupid Internet blitz chess by players rated 800 and below. After a while the large number of "mate in 1" and "exploit the pin" positions become grating.
Worse than that, quite a few games have analysis that is superficial or wrong (see my notes).
This e-book could be considerably better: toss out about half the games and spend a little more time on the analysis.
Also, about 99% of the positions are from the POV of an attacker. It would be interesting -- and practical -- to show more positions from the POV of a defender looking for an accurate defense against an unsound attacker.
