In this test book, the author has compiled 120 instructive tasks that are presented to the reader/solver in diagram form, each with two or three suggested answers using the multiple choice method. A detailed discussion of all positions follows. In the examples, the author has selected positions from tournament and competition practice in addition to a few theoretical variants. In keeping with the subject matter of the book, the solver will mainly encounter tactical-combinatorial problems, but positional-strategic aspects have also been integrated into the questions.
When attacking the enemy king, the action on the board often reaches its explosive climax, and the correct execution of the attack is crucial to success. However, a poorly staged attack usually turns out to be a boomerang for the attacker. It is essential to assess whether a position meets the requirements for an attack on the king and thus to decide whether the attack should be launched immediately. Serious training with this test book will enable you to correctly assess these critical situations and to make the attack successful.
An introductory chapter on the handling and evaluation of the tests completes the book, which is aimed at advanced amateurs and club players.
