Is this good? Sure it is! A plain diagram with the words "white or black to move" not telling you how long is your path to victory is in my opinion the best way to train tactics. [In fact, I would say that Reinfeld should not even divide the material in themes like queen sacrifice, attack to the uncastled king, etc.] A single pass over Reinfeld's problems is just not enough and the book demands a second or even third "reading." Why? Because it will save Sharing Widget |
