Hello Javier!

First of all, I would like to thank you for the interesting lectures you give on chessbase and all the interesting stuff on your web-site.

Here my problem: I am looking for a book to improve my tactical skills. I am familiar with the basic concepts like fork or double attack and so on, but when the position on the board is too complicated, I have sometimes problems spotting the combinations.

So what I want is a book that is advanced, but not too advanced. In your section on books I found interest in “Attack with Tal”. Do you think this is a good choice or do you have “better” suggestions?

Thanks,

Wolfgang

It depends what your level is.

For an advanced player (over 1900), I'd definitely go for the the software version of the Enciclopedia of chess combinations (published by the people from Chess Informant).

Lower than that, rather than a book I'd probably go for some tactics cd-rom. Tactics in particular is probably the subject where software can be a lot more helpful than a book: lots of content (I'm talking about thousands of examples!), easy to review once and again, you can add notes, etc.

I won't suggest any in particular, they're all pretty good, and I really mean it.
