About The Book

Build new chess skills and practice key tactics with these 500 entertaining, intermediate chess exercises for skilled chess players to improve their game.

For practiced chess enthusiasts who are eager to grow their skills even further, Intermediate Chess Puzzles has hundreds of puzzles to up your game!

Through 500 puzzles, you’ll learn motifs that will take intermediate players’ games to the next level—including advanced tactics, combinations, and defending against an opponent’s attacks. Basic instructions for how to solve chess puzzles are covered, then chapters take players through increasingly complex motifs with puzzles to practice each. Workout sections throughout include puzzles that practice any of the skills learned up to that point; without additional information, players must detect which motifs will need to be deployed—much like in an actual chess game.

Clear chess board diagrams allow you to picture every puzzle, and the detailed answer key carefully explains how to get to the best solution. Allowing practiced players to further improve their skills on their own, offline, and in a take-anywhere format, Intermediate Chess Puzzles is the perfect gift for chess fanatics of any age!
