Chess Tests

By Mark Dvoretsky

Chess Tests

Mark Dvoretsky (1947-2016) is considered one of the greatest chess instructors in the modern era. He left behind a great legacy of many books and publications. At the time of his passing, there were two unpublished manuscripts he had finished (and one other co-authored with study composer Oleg Pervakov).

"Chess Tests offers chessplayers material of very high quality for working on various themes, from training combinative vision to techniques of realizing advantages. I recommend using those materials for in-depth work in the directions mentioned in the book. If you follow this advice, then this volume will become a valuable addition to your chess studies and will help you reinforce skills and knowledge you have already obtained.

"And here is probably the most important point. Dvoretsky wanted to write a book that would not only teach some intricacies of chess, but would also be simply a pleasure to read for aficionados of the game, so he tried to amass the 'tastiest' of examples here. I hope that this last book by him is going to achieve this, presenting its readers with many chess discoveries and joy of communication with the great coach and author." - From the Foreword by Artur Yusupov

Customer Reviews

I have the E-book of this, Chess Tests by Mark Dvoretsky

In the answer section I'm confused if the answers go from left down or if they are left to right across. I guess I could eventually figure it out, it just would have been nice if they were labeled. I would have given it 5 stars but for that.
