In this test book, the author has compiled 120 instructive tasks that are presented to the reader/solver in diagram form with three suggested answers each using the multiple choice method. A detailed discussion of all positions follows. The book contains an introductory chapter on how to handle and evaluate the tests, as well as a final index of names. It is aimed at strong amateurs and club players up to the middle level.

The tasks are mostly taken from games played and are arranged according to openings, starting with the open games and ending with the flank openings. The level of difficulty varies considerably, resulting in a varied range of tasks. Based on the points achieved, the solver can make a (critical!) self-assessment of his tactical skills in the area of ​​openings.

Recognizing a critical situation in good time and assessing it correctly is essential, especially in the opening, if you don't want to endanger the game at an early stage by choosing the wrong move or even end up as a victim of a short game. This book will be a valuable aid in developing and perfecting the player's skills in this regard.
