Finally: Tactics Actually Made Fun and Interesting!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Are you tired of diagram after diagram of endless tactics in those ordinary tactics books? I sure was. This book makes tactics fun because it shows you how the greats actually used them to win their games. Schiller shows the purity of Capablanca's tactics and the cunning of Kasparov's from some of their best games. Instead of pages upon pages of X-rays, you get Bobby Fischer defeating Bisguier with an X-ray in the World Championship. You might not remember puzzle number 601, but you'll remember that game. I love the anecdotes, the biographies of the world's best players and the quizzes which kept me honest.
