How to Calculate Chess Tactics Thinking methods are at the heart of the chess struggle, yet most players devote little conscious effort to improving their calculating ability. Much of the previous literature on the subject has presented idealized models that have limited relevance to the hurly-burly of practical chess, or else provide little more than ad hoc suggestions. Here, experienced trainer Valeri Beim strikes a balance by explaining how to use intuition and logic together to solve tactical problems in a methodical way. He also offers advice on when it is best to calculate `like a machine’, and when it is better to rely on intuitive assessment.
Customer Review: Great book but the title is misleading
This book should be called “Appreciation of Chess Tactics”
rather than “How to Calculate…” because this is not a chess tactics
workbook at all. The game examples are beautiful and the author’s
commentaries about each game and essays about tactical themes
really convey chess beauty and excitement but you will not find
cookbook exercises or checklists of how to set up tactical themes here.

Customer Review: like everything but the zipper broke after a couple of days
like everything but the zipper broke on the game bag after a couple of days use; but everything ties down in the bag so it can still be used as a carrier for the game and clock.
Customer Review: Great for a chess team
We bought this to donate to a school chess program. It is great because it is all inclusive, and packs up easily for storage in a classroom. Make sure though that if you don’t receive all the parts to begin with you call. We did not receive the chess clock the first time through. It is a great deal if the clock is included, not so great if it isn’t.
