Title: Basic Beginning Tactics Book
Review: The author, Fred Reinfeld was known 30-40 years ago as being the author with the largest number of chess books on the market. He was a reasonably strong player and wrote some rather fine books. This is a book where you will find the same problems, without the detail and explanation in his "1001 Winning Chess Sacrifices and Combinations" - the difference is two fold,1. You get explanation of the tactics here (good point).2. Far fewer problems (bad point).3. His most simple problems to solve - good if you are a beginner or just above.If you are well beyond the beginning stage get his "One Thousand and One Winning Chess Sacrifices and Combinations", or "Winning Chess Traps for Juniors". They are not for the super beginner and will get you further quickly.
