Chess Tactics for the Tournament Player (Comprehensive Chess Course Series) (Comprehensive Chess Course, Third Level) Chess Tactics for the Tournament Player is the third volume in Grandmaster Lev Alburt’s Comprehensive Chess Course Series. Endorsed by world champion Garry Kasparov as revealing “the once-secret Russian method of chess training”, the first two volumes used only materials that worked well in the former U.S.S.R. Five-time U.S. chess champion GM Larry Evans calls the current book “a highly instructive primer on tactics”. It contains hundreds of strikingly beautiful positions arranged by difficulty and designed to sharpen tactical recognition and vision. Nothing is left to chance in this work. All materials have already shown their worth in Russian chess instruction. [NOTE: Because of the large number of chess diagrams this ebook is only available in Microsoft Reader (LIT) and Adobe Acrobat (PDF) formats.]
Customer Review: GREAT tactical instructor!
This is the best tactics book I have. I’ve written all over it because it’s constantly stirring up exciting ideas.

Quality Mechanical Chess Clock Timer A simple to use mechanical clock, just wind-up the movement, set the hands, and you are ready to go! The housing is uniquely molded to allow the clock to sit at a slight angle for better, non-glare viewing. The movement is relatively quiet and the design is compact for easy transport. This basic clock is a must for serious tournament players or casual players who want to put a time limit on their games.
Customer Review: It works.
It works, but it’s cheap and squicky. It seems to be rather fragile. But I’ve hit its buttons quite a few times with chess pieces and my hand and it still works. It is now in my office’s recreation room.
