    Susan Polgar , Paul Truong (Author) Puzzles & Games Editorial Review

    Chess Tactics for Champions by Susan Polgar is a well-written and easy-to-understand book that covers a wide range of tactics for young and old alike. The book is divided into ten chapters, each of which focuses on different tactic types, and includes plenty of examples to help readers understand the concepts. The book also includes exercises to help readers practice what they've learned. Overall, the book is highly recommended for anyone serious about improving their chess skills. However, some customers had issues with the quality of the binding in the physical book, while the Kindle version had some problems with readability. There were also some concerns that the book solely focused on particular themes instead of evaluating the position as a whole. Finally, some customers noted that the book emphasized queen sacrifices and that some errors existed. Nonetheless, the book is Considered to be a good tactics book for beginner-intermediate players.
