Review title: Tactics Mainly, Some Text
Product review: I agree with the previous reviews but I wanted to emphasize(unnecessarily? perhaps) their point that this interesting and worthwhile collection of problems does not have much in the way of actual text demonstrating "how to think creatively and avoid foolish mistakes" - this is primarily a tactics collection. Solving the tactics exercises would require you to apply your creativity and probably learn to avoid mistakes by not allowing these situations to go unexploited, but honestly, if you have a tactics book already, then you have the basic idea already: practice, practice, practice.I'm glad I have the book nonetheless because these problems do require imagination to solve and are not "composed" problems, they're from actual games.Four stars for the reasons other people have given: the instructions are rather sparse and the book doesn't indicate beforehand that these problems are for intermediate players or better.
