Best book for chess tactics?
Inspired by a previous thread about chess books, I would like to know wich books people consider the standard on chess tactics.
I am a casual player and would like to devote a lot of free time to chess. Someone suggested chesstactics.org, wich I liked, but I hate to read of my monitor. (I know it is available in book form, but it´s rather expensive) Please be so kind to suggest some titles. |

Pretty basic but good to use as a foundation before you move onward and upward! |

Re: Best book for chess tactics?
I was about to write a snide comment about some of the selections....
then I see a first class recommendation. So here is what I recommend: Eugene Znosko-Borowski "The Art of Chess Combination" Rudolph Spielman "The Art of Sacrifice" Informator "The Encyclopedia of Chess Middlegames" The last is simply a book of positions from actual games where you are supposed to try and figure out the tactical scheme that leads to overwhelming victory....ect. and as a supplement I would recommend you study the games of Morphy, Anderssen, Marshall and even Alekhine and Tahl. These recommendations come from a player who was near master in my late teens before becoming a top flight bridge player. |

Re: Best book for chess tactics?
but Silmans book "How to reassess your chess" is on how to think...looking at the features of a position and coming up with a plan. It isnt a book on tactics.

Re: Best book for chess tactics?
A lot of these recommendations don't seem suited to the level of a casual player.
I think the Seirawan 'winning chess tactics' is a good choice. A good introduction for a beginner. If you then want a book of problems for practice, rather than software, the Laslo Polgar book is recommended.'Chess:5334 problems, combinations and games'. |
