"I would like to nominate Igor Khmelnitsky’s book, “Chess Exam and Training Guide”
to be 2004 Chess Book of the Year on three
counts: (1) As a reader of chess literature I found the book thoroughly entertaining and
instructive. (2) As a chess trainer I found the material in it and the methods used extremely useful for a wide range of
students. (3) As a retailer it was the biggest selling book we had in 2004 by a large margin, even outselling the entire “Predecessors” series by Kasparov." -

"My main approach
when I start working with my students - improving their tactical skills.
You may play 30 good moves , then one slip and the game is over. Indeed
the standard puzzle books are all combines well known examples copy from
one source to another. What I found in your book - many new and quite good
examples for reaching the main target - showing readers the way of
improving the tactical vision and calculation." GM Boris
Alterman (Israel)

The Book is fantastic. I own 100s of chess books
and this def. makes the top 10. Maybe top for problem books. … I
finished the book. It predicted my rating to within about 30 points and
I learned that I am much better at strategy than I had realized but much
worse at calculation and tactics than I thought. So now I’m working my
weaknesses and researching strategic openings.-
Brian Karen (1800-2200), Admin @ Internet Chess Club (ICC) |
What impressed
me the most and is different from other quiz type books is that each
problem is looked at twice--once with White and the other with Black to
move or with a minor piece adjustment. This technique really helps
understand the full use of all pieces on the board and I found very
helpful for increasing my chess vision - Andy Ansel (USA)
