A large, structured collection of chess positions

This volume is built around practice: its thousands of chess situations are grouped by task, from one-move checkmates through longer mating problems to endgames and combinations drawn from tournament games. Diagrams accompany the positions, and solutions are gathered at the back, making it possible to work through each challenge before checking the answer. Basic rules and an international bibliography widen the book’s scope beyond the exercises. The range of problem types gives the collection a reference-like structure, while its emphasis remains on recognizing combinations and calculating possible moves across varied board situations.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Chess novices seeking practice alongside basic rules.
  • Players wanting a broad set of tactical problems and solutions.
  • Chess enthusiasts interested in checkmates, endgames, and tournament combinations.
