    "description": "Chess is 99% tactics. If this celebrated observation is true for the master, how much more so for beginners and casual players! If you want to win more games, nothing works better than training combinations.<br />\n<br />\nThere are two types of books on tactics, those that introduce the concepts followed by some examples, and workbooks that contain numerous exercises.<br />\n<br />\nChess masters and trainers Franco Masetti and Roberto Messa have done both: they explain the basic tactical ideas AND provide an enormous amount of exercises for each different theme. Masetti and Messa have created a great first tactics book. It teaches you how to:<br />\n<br />\n\u2022 identify weak spots in the position of your opponent<br />\n\u2022 recognize patterns of combinations<br />\n\u2022 visualize tricks.<br />\n<br />\n1001 Chess Exercises for Beginners can also be used as a course text book, because only the most didactically productive exercises have been used.",
