Limited-time special: The paperback version is on sale for only $6.99 (normally $9.99). Improve your game by studying 200 checkmate exercises! The book contains 200 checkmate exercises for the reader to solve, and all of them are from games involving players with an Elo rating in the range of 1600 - 2200. The exercises are split into two chapters, each with 100 exercises. The exercises in the first chapter are generally easier than those in the second chapter. Most club players should score very well on the exercises in the first chapter. The exercises in the second chapter provide more of a challenge, and some of these are quite difficult. The goal of each exercise is to find the quickest mate. In some positions, there may be several moves that lead to checkmate, but the quickest mate is required. There is only one first move for each exercise that achieves this goal. Detailed solutions are provided for all the exercises, and they have been computer-checked by several strong chess engines for accuracy. The book will be a valuable resource for club and improving players, and it will give the reader many hours of instruction and entertainment.
