Book Reviews of Chess: 5334 Problems, Combinations and Games

Book Review: Genius!
Summary: 5 Stars

What makes this book so excellent is the fact that you can open it up to any page and work through it. It's timeless, and entirely indispensible. Polgar doesn't cloud the pages with his thoughts and observations, it's just straight up chess problems without the unnecessary riffraff.

It would make a brilliant coffee table book.

I've owned it for a month now and it's helped already. The problems help me better recognize checkmates, and quicker, too.
