This book is great! Ideal 4 the improving player.Written by the world's best attacking player! What else can u ask 4! You 'll be in 4 some spectacular combinations!It has a chapter for every piece (usually the combination starts with that piece) & a few annotated games at the start of each chapter too (usually from crunch time until resignation) It opens your mind to new posivilities & they serve as new chess weapons to players unwary of them.A VERY good book.The only drawback is that you know with wich piece the combination starts with, wich makes it sometimes too obvious the starting move order.On the 2nd puzzle book by Kasparov this is improved by giving you hints of what the position calls for, so you will have to guess what piece is the one the combo start with.
