### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Tactics Instruction!
*by R***S on September 25, 2013*

This is a real classic of chess literature. As the title indicates, this is a book about combinations, but it is not the typical modern 'puzzle book' of isolated positions. Instead, it is in the form of an instructional textbook with very copious verbal explanations of how combinations are brought about and executed. The examples are far from elementary ones, as they are taken from the play of such luminaries of the board as Capablanca, Botvinnik, Alekhine, Nimzovich, Lasker (both Ed and Emmanuel) and Marshall. Many key combinational ideas such as line opening, line blocking, loose pieces, geometric, overworked pieces, etc are illustrated in depth. Classic methods such as the 2 Bishop sacrifice and attacks on the f7 square are covered. What sets this book apart for me are the extensive verbal explanations and the richness and central importance of the examples chosen. Yes, the writing style is old-fashioned and rather verbose, but Znosko-Borovsky does a really good job of explaining things for the non-expert player. This book has been made a bit more famous by American IM and famous author Jeremy Silman, who while a young player went through this text and added 400 points to his rating!! I can hardly think of a better recommendation. If you have mastered more elementary tactical puzzle books, this is a great way to take your tactics to the next level. Warmly recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simply a classic
*by R***Y on September 2, 2015*

This book should be in every serious chessplayers library. No idea why anyone would not buy this because its in descriptive notation. What does it take...like 5 minutes to learn? The only complaint would be the diagram positions don't say who's move it is, only the exercises at the end of each chapter, but I'll still give it 5 stars since its not really a book on tactics per se, but combinations.Great read.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ combinations by type
*by J***K on July 31, 2000*

this and "the art of the checkmate" by renaud and kahn, are two of the best tactical instruction books, not just positions to solve, available.especially useful to those rated b and below by the uscf, uschess.org, this, the book cited above and "bobby fischer teaches chess" would be the three first books id give a young player to learn...it will enthrall him.i am a uscf postal master
