Improve your Chess with the TP 2016 Puzzle Book!
You have already played chess for some time and know the basic tactical motives
like knight forks, smothered, back rank mate and reached about 1800-2400 Elo
rating but you do not know how to improve further?
Then I have an idea in store for you. In many sports the training process should be similar to the competition
and chess is no exception. So you should train ’the decision making’ in a practical
way with not too many additional information like "White to move and win by a
bishop skewer".
Solving studies is an option to foster your creativity, but sometimes
they are a bit artificial, very deep and difficult. They often do not reflect to
the situation you reach over the board in your games.
I have always believed in the method of solving exercises and asked all my students
to do so on a regular basis. Of course from time to time fresh material is
needed and that is why this workbook comes in very handy.
I have known both authors for a long time.
I can tell you that both are hard workers and you can expect
well chosen thoroughly checked material sorted in a suitable way so that all
chapters also catch the spirit of the different themes.
Furthermore the authors have included false tracks and give the refutations contrary to many other test
books which just give the correct solutions and nothing extra. In modern times it
is relatively easy to generate many exercises by the computer.
I think it is very important that many creative ideas are pictured in this book like the chapter on the
Bxh6 sacrifice, which in some cases it is correct and in others not, and the chapter
on the Berlin Wall, in which the different black structures are cracked in typical ways.
If you really want to have no additional information and just want to start solving,
then for example the chapter on the Olympiad is a serious option. If you want to
train your calculation and visualisation of variations, then the pawn endgame
chapter is a good place to start.
A nice addional feature is that some of the highlights
of 2016 were brought to life again and you will meet old friends, resp. positions
and hopefully also make many new ones along the road as most of the material
is brand new.
And last but not least, there are many beautiful points hidden in the exercises,
leaving the work being also fun, which is very important in my opinion.
