A WORD FROM THE PUBLISHER


Welcome to Sharpen your Tactics! You will find within these pages 1125
examples-starting with simple mates and progressing to some of the most
difficult and beautiful combinations ever played. The reader will be delighted to
play through hundreds of examples never previously published in the west.
Presented here for the first time are the personal favorites of Russian master
Boris Archangelsky and Grandmaster Anatoly Lein, with numerous examples
from the old Soviet Union.

Sharpen your Tactics! is for every class of chess player. The examples are
rated by difficulty, with the one-star examples being the easiest, and four-star
examples the most difficult. Experienced players will be able to solve most of
the one and two-star examples, but the three and four-star problems should be
played through on your board when studied for the first time. The problems
gradually get more difficult as you move through the book.
It is important that the student not spend too much time trying to solve each
problem, particularly the three and four-star examples, which are not all forced.
Far better is to spend five to ten minutes per example. Ifthe answer is not apparent
to you, simply look it up, try to remember the idea(s) and keep moving. Having
once seen the solution, you will remember it the next time this theme comes up
in one of your own games. The point is to see as many ideas as you can in the
shortest possible time. You will be astounded at the improvement you make as
you go through the book a second and third time. These patterns are occurring
over and over again in your games, and right now is the time to start learning to
see and take advantage of them. Begin going through the book now, and
remember, KEEP MOVING! This is the fastest way to improve your chess!
