Review: what a wonderful book - this is a wonderfully laid out book. I like this book and enjoyed reading it immensely. you don't need a chess set to read this book either so you can read it anywhere at any time. Yasser Sierawan imparts a lot of knowledge here in a superbly thought out and structured way. The quality of this book and the way it was written is profound. This book is for you if you understand pins, forks and the basics. But don't know, or would like to truly understand how to go for stalemate, x-rays etc. This book will increase the depth and crispness of your understanding and ability to use pins forks windmills etc. This book is so good!! i especially enjoyed the test section at the end. Thank you Yasser for this beautiful book Review: Seirawan - Silman tactical combination! - The book is in three parts: tactics and combinations; great tacticians and more tests and solutions. Test 50 is were I slowed down ( use of discovered check). Previously, most of the problems are for beginners. The glossary is the best I've read! 'Pig' is slang for rook. Diagram 70 and test 65 are impressive. Test 72 is a Spassky classic. Test 76 is a study by Lasker. About here I'd just got to chapter 11: x-rays and windmills; thought this book is a serious contender for book of the year (at least!) A windmill is a series of repeated discovered checks interspersed with checks to win material. There are numerous brilliancies throughout this book of varying types. Seirawan with the help of Jeremy Silman have written a minor work of art! Diagram 115: white is queen for rook and pawn and is drawn! ( either side to play!!) Diagram 116 is even better.... . 118 study by Chekhover should be memorised. Test 90, study by J. Hasek. is a superb drawing technique; in fact, these are better than winning attacks! Included are also Adolf Anderssen's Immortal game and Evergreen. Page 60 Reti. vs. Alekhine - Reti. should have taken the draw. ( what a game!) Alekhine equals Genius. Page 187: advanced combination. Test 109 is a beaut. The last two chapters, particularly the final one are for serious study. Permanent inclusion in my chess library. My elo as of last year reached 2280 (strict) I wish I'd found this book years ago; I would have been a better player as a result. Reccomended! ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 312,235 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 316 in Chess (Books) 740 in Indoor Games | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 401 Reviews | ## Images ![Winning Chess Tactics (Winning Chess Series) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61lOB6aXTnL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ what a wonderful book *by R***D on 4 September 2013* this is a wonderfully laid out book.

Reccomended! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent, but could be better presented. *by R***N on 14 November 2013* This book is very well written and an excellent support to my revision of the game after sixty-five years. However, the layout is not really suitable for use on a kindle because of the need to keep changing pages when attempting one of the many tests which are presented. The answers need to be on the same page as a copy of the board which sets up the question. ## Frequently Bought Together - Winning Chess Tactics (Winning Chess - Everyman Chess) - Winning Chess Strategies (Winning Chess - Everyman Chess) - Play Winning Chess --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/51954670-winning-chess-tactics-winning-chess-series](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/51954670-winning-chess-tactics-winning-chess-series) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-09-03*
