Anthology of Chess Combinations 3...(book)
sells at uscfsales.com for about 50 bucks.
anyone have this book?
I've heard the tactics are very very hard....like 8 moves to 10 movers.
is this true?
and would anyone below 1800 be able to solve any of them?
any help would be appreciated.
As for that one...will see if Borders has it...I might get about half of em...hehehehe

starts at level 10 until 90 if i remember right. Level 10 is easy. Very useful to get the hang of combinations. However , it's a CD, not a book.

Originally posted by OutpostI'd guess that most people would prefer CT-Art being on a CD. But if you prefer books, it's also available in softcover book format. It's called Combinative Motifs, by Maxim Blokh. (Yeah, it's confusing that they didn't stick with the CT-Art name.) Here's the link to the ChessCafe review:

Here is a recent book which contains combinations from games of ordinary club players as well as IMs and GMs:
The Complete Chess Workout: Train Your Brain with 1200 Puzzles!
On Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1857445325
Several of my chess friends have positions from their games in this book, but alas there are none from any of mine.
