'Which chess player doesn't want to crown his game with a brilliant and surprising combination? Winning in this way is fun! The key word is tactics.

Following his bestseller ''Successful Combinations'', Volkhard Igney presents ''Tactics Wins!'', a fascinating collection of chess combinations that should sharpen the tactical eye of every chess player. Chess is ultimately also about seeing, or as Savielly Tartakower aptly put it: ''The tactician must know what to do when there is something to do.''

The author, who is himself a FIDE master, has arranged the 500 examples from tournament practice thematically. This helps above all to learn to "read" a chess position correctly, in order to detect when a certain combination is literally in the air. Igney's new work, which like "Successful Combinations" bears the seal of approval "Official Textbook of the German Chess Federation", is therefore not only an ideal training book for beginners as well as ambitious club players. Its practical use lies above all in a significant increase in tactical skills and thus in playing strength.
