Chess Tactics for Students Customer Review: Tactics Workbook - Nice and Big Format
I really like the “large” (about 8″ x 11″) workbooks that I have gotten on both very basic tactics (”Chess Tactics for Students) and on chess opening traps (”Winning Chess Traps for Juniors”).
The print is big and easy to see with big diagrams. I don’t like books with tiny little print and diagrams so small you need a magnifying glass (should be included with the book!). I don’t have s seeing problem, but I just like my tactics and trap workbooks in the large print format.
“Chess Tactics for Students” was my starting tactics book. It is good for beginners. My only small grips are I found some printing mistakes and wish it had more puzzels to work on (but maybe that is a plus!).
This is a good book for a beginner after they learn how the pieces move.
Customer Review: Good Tactics Problems for Beginners but lots of mistakes
If it wasn’t for the mistakes in both solutions and some obvous typos this would be a very good first tactics book for any age. It needs to be corrected and a couple of problems removed that do not work and replaced by some that do. A better quality control was needed!
Now I feel tactics are one of the most important things for students who are new to improve their game. Getting some tactics workbooks and opening chess traps books are a good way to accomplish improving over all tactics.
This book will still help you get started, but there are a lot of choices of simular books without so many mistakes.
