Great for Beginner to "get" tactics.
★★★★★
Just page after page of tactical puzzles, usually mate in one or two moves.
Great way for beginners to learn basic tactics.
You can "look inside" the book on amazon.com USA site.
For players rated about Elo1000 or under.
Two big, clear, puzzles on each page with solutions below.
Very convenient & fun.
If you or your friend or your child are struggling with basic chess, I'm sure this will help.
And a good way to pass time on the train etc.
It is an English book but 99% puzzles so if you can't read English no problem.
Book is a good size, pretty good quality, text is clear.
It lacks explanation. A little more might be nice. So really 4.5 stars.
But it is a simple, great book with lots of exercises, only about 1,000 yen a bargain.
It's cheaper than seeing a movie!
