One of the most popular books on tactics and combinations ever released is now back in stock in a new third edition! It offers a selection of the most significant achievements made in chess competitions over 200 years. The new volume of the Anthology of Chess Combinations features several major changes introduced by the Chess Informant Editorial Board. The most notable change is that the third edition has been divided into two main parts featuring instructive and practical examples. As a foundation for the first part, the previous edition of the Anthology has been used with the original classification keys pertaining to fundamental tactical motifs.

The second part has been created to incorporate the elements of a workbook. More recent examples have been added and subdivided into three groups to maintain clear-cut structure. Each group has three difficulty levels without any classification keys, to make sure that the prospective solver cannot benefit from any hints. 

The third edition of the Anthology of Chess Combinations with 2,709 examples in 576 pages will help readers have a greater appreciation of the art of combinational chess and a fundamental understanding of how it can be achieved.
 

Months, even years of enjoyment! Test your tactical ability by solving some of the greatest chess combinations in history!

Title : Must have
Comments : This is one of the great books on combinations. In a previous incarnation about 20 years back it was organised by tactical theme (fork, pin, double attack, decoy, etc.); now it's organised by type of sacrifice (pawn, bishop, knight, rook, queen). In the index, though, one can find the positions classified by tactical theme. Anyone striving to improve his sacrificial and combinational prowess will want to work through chunks of this book. Highly recommended.

Title : All you need
Comments : There are over 2700 combinations in this book, including a couple of hundred famous historical ones. You won''t need any other book of combinations. They are good, varied and challenging. Excellent, durable hardcover binding, opens flat. This is one of those books every chess player should have.

Comments : This book is a necessity for any serious player. No words. Just problems and their solutions for one to work through.

Comments : If you're not good enough to calculate 15 to 40 moves in a position (with variations included) then, like me, you may find this book frustrating.
