A varied collection of 1001 chess puzzles arranged in five sections of increasing difficulty.

John Emms has assembled positions from real games to test players of all levels. The first sections focus on basic tactical patterns suitable for newcomers, while the later sections offer genuinely challenging problems for masters. For every puzzle the solutions show not just the best move but the key ideas behind it, so the book works equally well as a tactics manual and as a serious training tool. Working through the puzzles systematically is a tried and tested way to sharpen calculation, pattern recognition and the eye for combinations. Grandmaster John Emms is one of England's leading players and one of the most successful chess writers of recent decades, with many acclaimed titles to his name.
