A criticism of having all puzzles being tactics is that you know that there will be a tactic going into it. If the best move was simply a developing move - or even taking a hanging piece - this would force the solver to first determine whether or not there is a tactic in the first place. That analytical ability might better carry over into actual gameplay. Would you play that feature?

I don't recommend the book, as it went on the puzzle selections were sloppy, some even repeated diagrams a few pages later (I guess I only saw that once though). My general impression was that it was rushed and not well thought out or organized to help the reader absorb what he was trying to teach. I did squeeze some knowledge out of it, but if you do get it I don't recommend solving the puzzle sections in the way he recommends, just do each puzzle one at a time, and look up the answer immediately afterwards. The strategic theme he gives the puzzle isn't always logical and other times it's too obvious.

For example if you're given a puzzle where you're able to sac the exchange on a bishop file and as a result will win a center pawn in what was obviously out of a Sicilian or French (the two examples he uses before you take this test), you automatically know the answer is the exchange sac. Other times it may in all objectivity be a tactical solution where you sac material for an attack, but the strategic theme was "a second front" Other times it's very difficult to judge and when you spot the idea it feels good... but many other times you work hard on a solution only to find the answer is not at all instructive.

In some sense, both of the above are mistakes. When solving a puzzle, don't just guess a move that look like a tactic, try to justify it with calculation to the extent you'd actually play it in a real game. And in a game, don't ever assume there are no tactics. Always do at least a little bit of calculation of forcing moves.

1. You know that there exists a winning line in a tactics puzzle (why else would it even come up as a puzzle?) and all you need to do is to calculate several possibilities. In an actual game, no one is there to tell you that a tactic exists. Most of the time, no tactics even exist.

2. Tactics puzzles are a compilation of compositions and/or past games of players and hence there are lots of puzzles for you to train from. There are probably a greater number of existing tactics puzzles in the world than the number of chess games you have played in your entire life.

ChessCafe.com was previously linked with the United States Chess Federation and operated USCF Sales until April 2009. The website also maintains archives in PDF format of all its articles from 2000 and later, and text archives of articles from previous issues. It suspended publication of new columns in May 2015. In June 2015 The site announced that the number of subscribers was too low to sustain the site and that they would go on a three month hiatus. The last puzzle was published in 2016 and the site is now dormant.

Some moments after I finished this post, I surfed to chess.com. Chess.com shows every day a new puzzle. Sometimes these puzzles are quite hard to solve. This one is also a bit tricky. See the second diagram. e24fc04721
