Chess Mazes 1 | Bruce Alberston
"Chess Mazes 1" by Bruce Alberston is a unique chess puzzle book designed to enhance players' visualization and tactical skills.

- For advanced beginners and intermediate players
- A creative twist to traditional chess exercises
- Challenge yourself to find the correct move or sequence of moves to solve the puzzle
- The puzzles vary in difficulty, which makes them suitable for a range of skill levels
- Clear diagrams and instructions will guide you through the mazes
- Visual, interactive and fun!
Reader's Reviews:
This book exceeded my expectations as a more advanced player seeking new puzzle types. The chess mazes have been a hit with my students, improving their chess vision and strategic thinking. They offer a welcome break from traditional checkmate puzzles and keep the kids engaged - LPO
One of the basic chess skills that needs to be developed is visualization. You look at a position, think about where you should move a piece, what your opponent's reply might be and then go on to analyze the position that your mind's eye "sees." This book helps develop this precise skill - T Rose
