β¦ Synopsis
This is a superb book for the strong club player to near master. It is a compilation of 4158 positions from master play grouped into 77 different tactical or positional themes. For example, 168 positions of isolated queen pawn play, 108 hedgehog positions, 168 Sicilian sacrifice positions and so on. The examples given illustrate problem solving skills at the highest level, but because of the great number, the solutions (game continuations and commentary) are necessarily brief. Hence it is a book not for the average club player who needs explanations of the methods of play, but for the seasoned player who wants to analyse out for himself the best means of playing typical positions, and to be alert to tactical opportunities
