Killer Chess Tactics : World Champion Tactics and Combinations

This is a great book on tactics based on all the world champions from Morphy to Kramnik. It has a lot of games, tactical positions and lucid notes to explain what the different world champions did. A book not only to enjoy on all the world champions but also to learn tactics from. The book is big 407 pages.

Loved this book. Finished in one day.

Nice book, I'm happy with it

I like this book. I'm not done with it yet because it's huge and with tactics books I like to flip around a lot. It has the major tactical themes that can come up in your chess games, combined with a little bio of the great players whose tactics they illustrate. They make the book fun because they set the stage for each tactic with dramatic/colorful dialogue, and then ask you to step into the footsteps of the legends of the game and find the solution. The book also provides little tidbits of information like why the opponent's move was good or bad during a particular game and little idiosyncracies about the game and/or players. The only reason I didn't give this book 5 stars was because sometimes they put the solutions in a non-user friendly place so it sometimes became a laborious chore to find the answers. Overall, an entertaining and educational chess book.

excellent
