book arrived on time and in the condition described. i recommend the seller and book for anyone who likes chess puzzles.

Advanced learning.

I have a 1901 rating as a result of playing in three tournaments. I suspect my actual playing strength to be at about 2200. It is my feeling that this style of puzzle book (Endgame) will help my over all playing strength / tournament results; as well as shore up some of my weaknesses in the Endgame (an area of the game a lot of players neglect). These puzzles are NOT easy, but are printed two to a page, which makes it easier to analyze then some others puzzle books. However, some of typeface, as well as the ink density, make it hard to figure out which are the White pieces and which are the Black pieces.I lost this book once and actually went out and bought it again - it's that good. Along the same lines as the above book, but different, is Troitsky's (sp?) book "Tactics In The Endgame". You want to get better? Studies these two books - you'll notice result right away, I promise.Chris Rondthaler
