606 Puzzles for Chess Nuts (Mensa) (Official Mensa Puzzle Book)

by Fred Wilson (Author), Bruce Alberston (Author)

Synopsis

For the true chess fan, the 64 squares of the chessboard represent a world of imaginative possibilities, where a bright idea can make the difference between triumph and destruction, victory and defeat. Each of these puzzles featured in this work re-creates that world, putting the reader into a realistic game position with the tantalising task of finding that elusive winning idea. By taking on the challenge of these problems, mastery of the many tactics of chess can be achieved: the pin, the fork, the skewer, simplification, removing the guard and so on. Ranked in three levels of difficulty - beginner, intermediate and tournament - the puzzles will help build the mental muscles the game demands, while providing hours of fun for players of all abilities.
