Customer Review: Useful games colection
Let me clear the basic facts about what kind of book this (and the rest of the series) is; it is a game colection, very resonably anotated, with critical points arising somewhere at the end of opening phase or at the begining of middlegame. (It is not a bambambum tactics which resolve a game in instant.) At that point thematic tactical move arises which usually changes the evaluation of position by (dissa)prooving the way to handle it as black or white. Since the whole game is covered, we can see the ultimate logic of playing that position to win, but in number of games inferior side is giving its best to stay in the game. Although cover of this book is focusing on french defence, out of its 236 pages the french is having around 1/4 of it having 68 pages. The rest of the book comprises of 50 pages of Caro-Kann, 22 pages of Scandinavian, 40 pages of Pirc, 12 pages of Kings fianchetto and 26 pages of Alekhine, to be precise. What I like the most in this book is that authors managed to find a good balance between descriptive and analytic in annotating the games from the book. Also, the most of the games in here are very new, which is nice from the teoretical point, but I like that authors also included some of the great clasic games from those openings, which can be very instructive.
I give this book a strong four stars, and can recommend it to the practitioners of theese openings as a useful reminder and refreshment.
Kasprov’s Winning Chess Tactics (Fireside Chess Library) Customer Review: Uneven Effort
This book is not a collection of one-move mates, queen sacrifices, or forced tactical sequences. It is a series of positions, actual and possible, from K’s games, that Pandolfini analyzes in detail. However, the book is often irritating because Pandolfini’s analysis is either wrong (according to Fritz, a GM-rated program) or his “hint” about the tactical trick in a postion(”pin,” “skewer,” etc.) isn’t what the diagram is really about. Still, there are plenty of the world champion’s tricks in this book, enough to make it worthwhile if purchased cheaply.
Customer Review: it’s very good
i like it very much

Winning Chess Tactics Illustrated Customer Review: A Chess Puzzle Collection and a Good Training Workbook
This book offers an entertaining way to test your skills and train yourself with 300 positions taken from actual games.
I loved this book because you don’t need to have a chessboard at hand, you just try to solve the problems looking at the position diagram on the book. This alone is a good training for your brain, helping to develop the capacity to think ahead and visualize combinations in your head, after all when one is in an actual game you have to be able to analyze positions and visualize moves and combinations.
