Her use of tactics, combinations, and strategy during her games gave her the critical advantage she needed against her opponents. In Chess Tactics for Champions , Polgar offers insight into the kind of thinking that chess champions rely on while playing the game—specifically the ability to recognize patterns and combinations.

Such a practical and lovely tool
I do own a lot of instructive books on painting, modellism, cooking, hunting and so on. From reputable and highly appreciated authors too. And very useful these all are, indeed! But I have to confess Susan Polgar's book on chess is the closest tool for the job at hand that one could dream of. Exquisite! And coming from one of the best chess players in history (regardless of the distinction between men and women) doubled by a more than talented mentor/teacher/educator... enough said. A jolly good read, definitely worth the money (for the most conscientious out there) and a fine addition to a good personal library. I can see myself in several years looking for it again just to exercise my mind a bit... Lovely!

great chess book
I have found this to be one of the best chess books i have ever bought, I have a library of around 240 chess books I have collected since the 60s, and I still think this is one of the best books, up there with Nimzowitch "My System!" i have bought this book three times, one for myself, one for my granddaughter and again this week one for my grandson... she put over her ideas with ease and so easy to understand... love this book...

A must read book for beginners transitioning into intermediates
At the start of each chapter (which is dedicated to specific type of tactic) there is a brief explanation on how the tactic works with a few instructive examples. This inclusion has been invaluable to me as it has taught me *what* to look for. Tactics are now something I see potentially emerging in advance and not just something that I randomly stumble upon when it comes to my turn, which has vastly improved my board sense. This is a great book, I just wish there were more puzzles.

Ottimo manuale
Ottimo manuale ad un prezzo contenuto. Praticamente è un libro di esercizi, suddivisi per temi. Ciascun esercizio ha la soluzione spiegata.

Très très bon livre, pédagogique et dense
Un livre fait pour apprendre la tactique, avec une granularité très fine, et de belles positions pour découvrir et s'entraîner. Recommandé à toutes et à tous! Vous pouvez ensuite vous perfectionner avec "Chess Middlegames" , "Chess Endgames" et l'excellent ouvrage "Chess: 5334 Problems, Combinations and Games" tous écrits par Laszlo Polgar :) le père de Susan, Sofia et Zsuzsa :)

Easy to understand and makes Chess achievable.
Chess Tactics for Champions is a great book for anyone who wants to improve their chess skills. Susan Polgar is a former world chess champion and she knows what she's talking about. The book is well-written and easy to understand for young and old alike, and it covers a wide range of tactics. The book is divided into 10 chapters, each of which focuses on a different tactic type. Polgar explains each type of tactic in detail, and she provides plenty of examples to help you understand the concepts. She also includes a number of exercises at the end of each chapter to help you practice what you've learned. I found the book to be very helpful. I've been playing chess for many years, but I still learned a lot from this book as well and making it easy to teach my grandson advanced tactics. Polgar's explanations are clear and concise, and the exercises are challenging but not too difficult. If you're serious about improving your chess skills, I highly recommend this book. Here are some of the things I liked about the book: The book is well-written and easy to understand. Polgar covers a wide range of tactics. The book includes plenty of examples to help you understand the concepts. The book includes exercises to help you practice what you've learned. If you're looking for a book to help you improve your chess skills, I highly recommend Chess Tactics for Champions by Susan Polgar.
