Ljubojevic's Best Chess Games – PAPERBACK

Solving puzzles is one of the most pleasant training exercises there are. This book of chess puzzles is intended for novice players who can already see simple mates and direct captures, but now wish to move up a level. The book, containing 275 puzzles, begins with fairly simple tasks and ends with a set of puzzles that are somewhat more challenging. All of the puzzles are provided with explanations to facilitate the understanding of what happened and the assimilation of tactical patterns.
