Chess Tests

Amazing, that's the only word the comes to mind at this moment.High level, this is no books for amateurs

love it because the problems are hard enough that I will be working on them till my dementia has a firm grasp

Like the way the tests are setup and some of the combinations are not so obvious and helps train you to start looking at the whole board and to look harder at even the most benign positions.

Chess books by Mark Dvoretsky are a must for the serious chess student.(Sadly, Mark Dvoretsky passed this year.)This book offers a series of chess problems that teach various aspects of the game.

Love the material, but the Kindle application STINKS.In most similar books, there are hyperlinks to the solutions...not here. So, you read a problem, and have to scroll 60 pages ahead to read the answer, then come back 60 pages to read the next problem. Just horrible.

"As a struggling young GM rated around 2550, I was able to spend twice a week training with Mark Dvoretsky. These two sessions were career changing for me: I can't overstate the difference they made to my chess strength." - GM Matthew Saddler'Chess Tests' is Dvoretsky's last book and is primarily a selection of puzzles organized by theme. This is not only a tactics book - there is a wide variety of sections including attack, defense, and positional puzzles. As a result, this book is ideal to prepare for an important tournament, as you can improve your form for most of the most important types of positions. The answers are annotated at the back in more detail than needed to solve the puzzle, so you are also getting a selection of well-annotated games. The puzzle quality is absurdly high! Answers are generally aesthetic, making the patterns and thought process techniques easier to learn. I don’t want to underrate this aspect of the book; Dvoretsky chose delightful exercises! The puzzles are archetypical for specific types of problems strong players need to solve in their games. The target audience is mainly 1800+ USCF/FIDE and sometimes the puzzles will be difficult for masters, but weaker players can still benefit a lot as long as they are willing to take their time with a growth mindset. I highly recommend ‘Chess Tests’ for all advanced players looking to improve their tactics and calculation.
