1001 Brilliant Ways to Checkmate, 21st Century Edition (Fred Reinfeld Chess Classics)

You'll never need ano

Tactics, tactics, tactics

My 7-year-old grandson went from lack of focus to winning 7 of his eight matches this year. He and I set up the board and try to figure out the checkmates together. His game has really improved.

Some of the mates are cooked (submit them to your computer), and the notation is descriptive, not algebraic. Nevertheless this book has instructed players for generations and is highly recommended as a single source for many mates.

I have used this book to help me stay sharp in the game for years. These exercises will make anyone a stronger player.

I purchased as a gift but the receiver said it was very helpful with learning new moves.

It’s ok

This is a classic at a good price.

Good

この本の21st century edition版は印刷がとても良いです。John Nunnの1001 Deadly Checkmatesもいいと思いましたがちょっと難しいので、こちらのほうが楽しくメイトパターンを学べる飽きない問題集だと思いました。

This book provides 1001 chess diagrams, all with a forced checkmate for the side to move.It is split into different chapters, each with a different theme: Queen Sacrifices, Checkmate without the Queen, Storming the Castled Position, Harrying the King, Discovered and Double Check, Pawn Promotion, A Variety of Motifs and Composed Problems.Each chapter starts with a brief introductory page with some general advice on solving the problems that follow, but this is NOT a book which teaches you how to solve the problems. That is something you have to do yourself - you learn by solving the problems and then recognizing similar positions that crop up later.There is no doubt that working your way through this book will help improve your chess. However, if you're not prepared to try to solve the problems yourself, forget it - you'll be wasting your time. So, if the idea of solving 1001 problems fills you with dread, do something else instead!Although I think this book is excellent, I can't give it 5 stars for two reasons: Firstly, the pages of my copy starting falling out soon after I bought it - please note that this is NOT a Dover publication (their books are of excellent quality), it is re-print by a different publisher.Secondly, I gave up on the Composed Problems chapter. There are 70 of these composed problems and I found that I simply wasn't interested in solving these positions which look like nothing you will ever encounter in a real game.In summary, I think this book is excellent value for money and if you are prepared to work through it your chess should improve - you might even enjoy the experience!

Very good book that has enabled me to improve as a chess player! Would be even better if there were slightly more explanations for the puzzles.
