Great book of tactics for the beginner+

2nd book in Gillam's Better Chess series. Well over 300 tactical examples. Not mate puzzles, just tactics. Wonderful! Realistic beginner tactics puzzles can be hard to find. These sorts of tactics appear in beginner games all the time. And drilling tactics is the quickest way to improve at chess.The format is very clear. Good-sized, clean diagrams. 4 quick puzzles per page. Drawback: The answer appears directly under the diagram. Also, these are all White to move.But I use this book when I'm exercising, so the drawbacks are really benefits! I don't have to look at the back of the book.For USCF 900-1500 player, ie novice thru intermediate. If you're at the high end of that range, you can breeze through these puzzles, but you'll still get a benefit in improved "chess vision".I highly recommend ALL of Gillam's books. I own 7.
