Quality Chess puzzle book Jacob Aagaard John Shaw Quality Chess PDF

When John Shaw decided to write a puzzle book he had many ideas in mind:

• The puzzles should be challenging but not so difficult that a chessboard is needed
• they can be solved on the train, plane or wherever you happen to be when you have a few minutes to spare
• The positions should be educational with some instructive point to the solution

But, he also selected many puzzles just because they were fun.

The positions are all from fairly recent games, so the reader will not have seen them before in older puzzle books.

John Shaw is a grandmaster and one half of Quality Chess. He has been Scottish Champion three times.

Reviews

“Another great new offering… Puzzle books are ten a penny, with most over-priced even at that rate, but this is a shining exception, a truly fabulous collection of positions that will test every player, from average club player up to 2700… no player can fail to benefit from serious work on the book. It is another fabulous product from a great publisher.”
