Chess Tactics (Batsford Chess Book)

Customer Review: Good Book but…
This book gets 3 stars from me only because I am a USCF rated class B tournament player. I think this book is good for the class C player and definitely good for the class D and below player. It is simple, to the point, and user friendly. Class B players and above, stay away. Oh, do not pay over $20 dollars for this book even if it is brand new. It can be obtained through USCF.
Customer Review: This book has it all!
CHESS TACTICS has it all when it comes to pins, forks, skewers, dicovered checks and all the various types of typical tactics you are likely to encounter when you play. I personally own a fair number of books on tactics and traps and have found them to be the most useful types of books in getting me actual results when I play. This book has excellent examples and tells you the principles behind each type of tactic it covers. Very good book!
