Advanced Puzzles

This book contains 50 advanced chess puzzles for experienced players. There are dozens of each of the following puzzles: Mate in 3, Mate in 4, Mate in 5 and an additional 14 puzzles that will challenge you to find the best move to win material and create winning positions. Some of the puzzles are forced mates ,but many of them will force you to find the best move for white and black to correctly solve the puzzle. I believe that makes these puzzles more realistic, since that's exactly what you're supposed to be doing when playing the game -- finding not only your best move, but your opponent's as well. Many chess puzzle books ask the reader to solve all the puzzles from the perspective of the white pieces. But that's not realistic. In this book, you will be asked to solve puzzles from the vantage point of the black pieces as well. I believe these puzzles will help you improve your game. by Dave Schloss
