Summary: Solid Work: Good Problems, Diagrams, And Great Range
Comment: Although there are "only" 303 problems, they are well chosen and representative of their respective themes. Skewers, pins, forks, and the usual suspects are all there in progressively more difficult examples. The diagrams are not tiny, cramped drawings like you might find in those 1000+ monster collections and the solutions are easy to look up without seeing accidentally seeing the solutions to other problems. Combined with the slender size of the book, the diagrams and easy-to-find solutions make this a very convenient book to carry around. I am a rated USCF player with an OTB rating that ranges from 1750-1850 and found most of the problems rather simple but NOT trivial - these are problems and combinations that are far more likely to be encountered in my games (and yours?) than some of those amazing 5-8 move stunners. I like the quick, practical review this book gives me and would recommend it. There are tons of great tactic books out there but keep in mind this one.
Rating: 4
Summary: Good, but could be better
Comment: For beginning and intermediate players, this book is a great help. The diagrams are large, and within each section they progress from relatively easy to somewhat difficult.
The weakness of this book is that the tactics are all divided into categories. I would prefer to not have the artificial advantage of knowing that I'm looking for a pin, or a fork, etc.
