Review:
"Nowadays, in the computer-era, it is essential to calculate as quickly and as precisely as possible in order to achieve success in chess. Solving puzzles is the best way to improve our skills in this area, and at the same time it's one of the most entertaining aspects of chess - to deliver mate or win material with a beautiful sacrifice! Csaba's book contains the most recent puzzles, which means we needn't be afraid that we will already have met the combinations in other sources - they will all be unique and therefore I can truly recommend this book to everyone.", GM Zoltan Almasi, 8 times Hungarian Champion, 2 times Olympic silver medalist, European Rapid Champion in 2010.
