One
Thousand and One Winning Chess Sacrifices and Combinations
by Reinfeld, Fred Reinfeld
Review by a reader from Los Angeles, CA , June 7, 1999
Thank you Fred Reinfeld for this great collection of exercises in chess
tactics. Ultimately, in over the board play, tactics decide victory or
defeat. What better way to train for the winning pin or fork or double
attack but to see again and again how it's done? "Their drills are
bloodless battles, and their battles bloody drills." |
