Special mat tactical exercises in 2 moves
Chess is 99% a tactical story! All grandmasters are unanimous on the subject.
Beginners and club players must imperatively be aware of this maxim. The fastest
and most effective way to improve your chess performance is to increase your
tactical skills, so that you can see at a glance the winning tactical patterns. There
is no doubt that the best way to acquire good tactical vision is to do exercises
that teach you to recognize the tactical elements that make up each combina-
tion. This book focuses on the crucial positions that every chess player needs
if you have not first mastered the fundamentals of tactics. Good exercises to all!

Robert James “Bobby” Fischer
“All things being equal, it is the conviction that
wins. Allied to a will to win, it serves as a de-
tonator, arouses ideas, disperses doubts, and
helps to think clearly.” - Robert James Fischer
