Reviews

Sean Marsh (CHESS magazine)
“A companion volume, The 100 Tactical Patterns You Must Know Workbook, is available too. Buy both of these excellent books, work hard on the examples, and in 2025, show the world how much of a tactical live wire you have become.”

Stephen Rees
“I’ve never seen tactics books organised in this way before - they are usually ‘here’s a bunch of pins’ - ‘here’s a bunch of forks’ - etc. But these books do it differently. They are organised by ‘piece patterns’ for a better way of putting it. As somebody who is precisely the target market for them, I think they are excellent - enjoyable and useful, and I think they would help many people like me (an adult learner who started playing chess a couple of years ago) who are trying to improve and enjoy the game even more.”

Neil Sullivan (Chess Book Collectors on Facebook)
""The book is written in a lively and pleasing manner. I feel it succeeds as both instruction and entertainment. Each theme is composed of several examples and can be read in 5-30 minutes each. Even for themes I felt I knew well, going through the examples was a delight.""

Forward Chess
“The book provides a good balance between verbal and analytical annotations. The author has managed to organise the patterns in a systematic way that enhances the learning process. The choice of good examples and clear commentary make this a fine book on an essential topic.”
