I am presently trying to get my hands on some tactics books. I understand that CT ART 3.0 is highly recommended, but I want something handy, instead of staring at the computer.
Anyone has any good book to recommend for such tactical exercises ?
Thanks a lot.
Inner Game of Chess by Soltis
and the very difficult, fantastic attacking bible: Art of Attack in Chess by some Russian like Vukovic (sp?)

Hi there whitedisc !
I can recommend three books:
On Tactics:
1."Winning Chess Tactics" by Yasser Seirawan and Jeremy Silman.
ISBN 1 85744 333 0.
2."Chess Tactics For Advanced Players" by Yuri Averbakh.
"Schachtaktik für Fortgeschrittene" ( same book ,same writer but
in German). I'ts not available any more in the regular chess book
shop , but if you can lay your hands on this one (second hand)
don't hesitate : buy that book !
On the middle game:
1."Art of Attack in Chess" by Vladimir Vukovic.(former Republic of
Yugoslavia) ISBN 1-85744-400-0.
If you want to learn how to attack,this is the book you've been
looking for !
Chessgreetings from IvanH.

There are 1000 tactical positions to solve!
I read above about ChessBase's 'Intensive Course Tactics'. I have it and it's quite recommendable. However, one better starts with CB's 'School of Elementary Tactics (martin Weteschnik). Daniel King's 'Check and mate' is also great (ChessBase).
CB's bi-monthly ChessBase Magazine is (at least for me) a must-have. Tournaments, endgame, tactics, strategy training, thousands of games, tournaments, multimedia (lots of interviews with GMs), etc.
Cheerio!
