1001 Chess Exercises by Franco Masetti and Roberto Messa

1001 Chess Exercises is tactics workbook for beginners under each problem they give hints what a reader is looking for like a pin, a decoy, a mate in 3 they cover all the important tactical motifs a reader should know it has a chapter called the missing piece where you checkmate or create a winning position by putting the right piece on the right square. The end of the book has a chapter with mixed motifs a grab bag of everything deflection, mate in 3, removing the defender, double attack, back rank weakness, opening a file ect.

I buy used and new books loaded with lots of checkmates, tactical exercises even children`s books with lots of problems it`s all good having a mix of old problems from books from 1850-1900 to newer ones like this is great for keeping sharp.
