Introduction 2

Introduction
The book “Tactics in Chess” is a book specialized in
pattern recognition through different problems that
will lead the chess player to improve.

Through a series of carefully selected problems, this


book challenges you to raise your Tactical skill. Ideal
for ambitious players with an Elo of 1800 or higher,
although if you have a lower Elo you can also test
yourself by doing the different exercises.

Throughout the book you will see important tactical


topics such as: Attraction, sacrifice, quiet move,
middlegame, mate in 4 or more, exposed king,
deviation, advanced pawn, intermediate move,
among others.

The book has a series of Tactics where the problem


will be shown and at the end of the book all the
answers to these will be found.

I would like to thank all the people who, with their


advice and guidance, have made me the person I am
today.
