"""A modern puzzle rush for a new generation of book lovers.""--Gary Lane, International Master ""Chess Moves Magazine"" ""A well-thought out tactics book aimed at players rated from 1500-2000. One of the better exercise books to come out in recent years.""--John Donaldson, International master, International Master ""An extremely useful training manual. Many club players will benefit.""--Herman Grooten, International Master ""Shaaksite"" ""Erwich's book will help players of 1500-2000 Elo to discover and prepare tactical tricks. These will often decide the game immediately, but sometimes they will lead to an advantage that will need to be converted in the endgame.""--B.H. Wilders ""Nederlands Dagblad"" ""Good work! Lots of exercises, not many words, just what I like. The chapter on defense, in particular, is very clever. One is so accustomed to attacking combinations, but tactics can be used in defense as well.""--Simen Agdestein, Grandmaster ""VG Daily News"" ""I was very impressed by the range of positions that Erwich selected. A good book of its kind! Four stars!""--Matthew Sadler ""The material at the beginning of each chapter is clearly explained; the exercises which follow will certainly improve readers' vision, calculation and tactical memory banks.""-- ""CHESS Magazine"""
