250 Checkmate Exercises for Improving Players - Volume 3

By Sam Cicero

Limited-time special: The paperback version is on sale for only $6.99 (normally $9.99). Improve your game by studying 250 checkmate exercises The book contains 250 checkmate exercises for the reader to solve, and it is a sequel to 250 Checkmate Exercises For Improving Players (www.amazon.com/dp/B073TCVQSK) and 250 Checkmate Exercises For Improving Players - Volume 2 (www.amazon.com/dp/B074J94G8K). In contrast to the first two volumes, this book contains some mate in 3 exercises to provide a greater challenge. The exercises are from games involving players with an Elo rating in the range of 1600 - 2200. These exercises are easier than those contained in my previous book, 200 Checkmate Exercises From Tournament Games(www.amazon.com/dp/B071CVVQNK), and they are more suited to players who have less experience in chess. The exercises are split into three chapters. The first chapter has 100 mate in 1 exercises, the second chapter has 100 mate in 2 exercises and the third chapter has 50 mate in 3 exercises. There is only one first move that achieves the required goal for each exercise. For the longer-mate exercises, there may be several moves for the second and third moves that achieve the goal, and all of these choices are acceptable as solutions. The mate in 1 exercises are particularly good for developing quick board vision, and the aim is to solve these exercises quickly. Of course, the longer-mate exercises require more work. Detailed solutions are provided for all the exercises, and they have been computer-checked by several strong chess engines for accuracy. The book will be a valuable resource for improving players, and it will give the reader many hours of instruction and entertainment.
