Book Reviews of Back to Basics: Tactics (ChessCafe Back to Basics Chess)
Book Review: Excellent Intermediate-Level Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I could not imagine money or time better spent to improve my playing strength.
I bought this book on the reputation of the author and to fill the gap between the easy problems in The Chess Tactics Workbook: Expanded 4th Edition by Al Woolum and the harder problems in John Nunn's Learn Chess Tactics.
I am USCF rated 1727 and still struggled with about 10% of the problems in the book. I feel I am seeing more and calculating faster now. I especially liked the 78-problem test chapter and the "Is There a Win" chapter.
