Praise for the Series Tactics in the Chess Opening:
Jeremy Silman, author of 'How to Reassess Your Chess':
“Lots of opening ideas that can be assimilated by everyone.”
Thomas Behrens at Schach-Ticker (Germany):

Australian Chess Magazine:
“An excellent way to study.”
IM John Watson, The Week In Chess:
“A high quality product that is particularly appropriate to give the average club and tournament player an overall grasp on the dangers and opportunities available in a given opening.”
Rick Kennedy, ChessVille:
“A very enjoyable book that will teach as well as entertain. The games tend to be sprightly educational miniatures.”
Schaakmagazine (Netherlands):
“Many of the games can be studied without a chess board and pieces.”
British Federation for Correspondence Chess:
“An excellent primer or book to stimulate ideas.”
Paul Motwani in The Scotsman:
“All players who wish to hone their chess skills would do well to invest in a copy of Tactics in the Chess Opening 2, an excellent New In Chess book. (…) What an irresistible feat of attacking play.”
IM John Donaldson:
“The annotations are to the point, detailed but not so much as to lose the reader. This book should be a pleasurable way for those below 2200 to master the fundamentals of tactical play in semi-open games.” |
