An old book that focuses on tactics. It is set up and presents a series of positions and problems to be solved. Can you really learn to see three moves ahead? I think so. This book is helpful in that goal. (

Epigraph

Methodical thinking is of more use in chess than inspiration. -- Purdy

Dedication

For Selma and Bea

First words

How to Use This Book to Advantage -- Your Advantage -- Every chessplayer, from beginner to expert, asks the same question: "How can I improve my game?" In our earnest endeavor to find the best possible answer, we have studied over 50,000 games played in tournament matches from 1851 to the present day by the great chess masters. This intensive research confirmed what we had long suspected: the proper use of combination play is the secret of winning chess.
