An excellent book for not just junior training but for players of all standards to hone their tactical skills. - FM Richard Webb, British Chess News<br><br>I like the fact that there is a combination of contributors - that works well. I also feel that there is a personal touch to the book and the puzzles really mean something to the players. ... There is much to learn about opening, middlegame and endgame positions here, so it is not just about solving the puzzles. There's more if you want it. - Carl Portman, Chess Book Reviews<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>This book is written by an all-star team of authors. <b>Wesley So</b> is the reigning Fischer Random World Champion, the 2017 US Champion and the winner of the 2016 Grand Chess Tour. <b>Michael Adams</b> has been the top British player for the last quarter of a century and was a finalist in the 2004 FIDE World Championship. <b>John Nunn</b> is a three-time winner of both the World Solving Championship and the British Chess Federation Book of the Year Award. <b>Graham Burgess</b> is Gambit's Editorial Director and the author of 30 books.
