Reader’s reviews:
A more fitting title for this book could be "50 Deadly Checkmates." Each checkmate is described concisely within two pages, making the content easy to understand and directly applicable to your games. There's no theoretical jargon or unnecessary material—just effective, game-winning tactics suitable for players of all skill levels. Consider yourself warned, Dad! - S.Graham.
This book serves as a comprehensive checkmate pattern encyclopedia, with many adults never having learned the sequences it contains. Though it uses "dad" as the opponent, this could easily be swapped with "rival" or "enemy," making it appropriate for adults too. Despite its playful title, the content is sophisticated and valuable for any chess player. Both children and adults can benefit from its techniques, making it a great resource - H.Brevin.
