Mate In 3 Chess Puzzles
66“Many have become chess masters – no one has become the master of chess.” Tarrasch
Siegbert Tarrasch (1862 – 1934) was one of the strongest chess players and most influential chess teachers of the late 19th century and early 20th century.
Chess puzzles come in all shapes and sizes; actually, not really. They might come in many sizes, but the shape is always the same, square. Most all chess players do however, want to improve their game and are always on the lookout for ways to get better. Winning chess strategies and chess tactics can be found in many different areas.
Chess puzzles, working on chess openings and chess endgames are just a few of the ways to improve one’s game. Start with mate in 1 puzzles and then mate in 2 and work your way up to the more difficult advanced chess puzzles. Taking chess lessons can help a lot too because you get instant feedback on your games and it is tailored directly to you. But remember, nothing beats actually playing!
Chess 101 was written for those who have just learned or want to learn to play chess. The book has been endorsed by top chess teachers and players alike, and provides all the basic information you need to know to learn and enjoy the game of chess.
