SCHOOL OF CHESS TACTICS - volume 3 (introduction and explanation written by Fide Master Paul Dobrinetsky) Dear friends! I would like to invite you into the Fairyland of Chess Kingdom! The school of chess tactics will help you to increase your level of chess playing. The more (the more efficient) you work the better results you obtain! Ifyou have solved correctly: 100 puzzles - your tactical chess rating is 1800 (2 category) 300 puzzles - your tactical chess rating is 2000 (15 category) 500 puzzles - your tactical chess rating is 2200 (a CM level*) All the positions are single tasks and it is always white to move. Your task is to find the best solution - no matter if it is the mating final (attack) or gaining the decisive advantage. The author recommends solving systematically at least 6-12 chess puzzles. This way you can improve your tactical vision as much as calculation of variations! These skills should enable you play better and outplay your opponents with the use of tactics! Be careful and try to take advantage every time your opponent will give you the opportunity to do so! If you solve at least 500 chess puzzles correctly - it means you have won (passed) the king competition! Congratulations! You are really very good at solving hard chess tactics! The book is directed especially to young players, coaches, trainers, instructors or parents. This chess puzzles book is recommended for players rated 1600-2000. * = CM - it is the shortcut from Candidate Master. It is the level of chess player who is able to play with the 2200 (average) rating strenght. It is the first chess title possible to obtain. This level (and the others that are highest than this one) of play achieves just about 7-10% of all chess players. To obtain a CM title any player should fullfil the specific conditions depending on the chess federation requirements. May all your chess dreams come true in chess tournaments! Please notice that these puccles are exiremally useful for developing your chess intuition. Why?
