"Good introduction to the tactical side of chess, and my all-time favorite chess book. Chernev and Reinfeld give show you a tactic (e.g., "removing the guard"), demonstrate it, and then give you several fairly straight-forward problems in which you put it to work. This is not a complicated book. No need to set up a chessboard for this book. If you're ready to tackle your first book on tactics, I recommend this one; if you've successfully gone through Polgar's "Chess Tactics for Champions" or others of that type, this will be far too easy for you."
"Good foundation for basic understanding of tactics and strategy, including the pin, knight fork, double attack, discovered attack, discovered check, etc. There might be more current versions of the book, but the edition I read seemed a little outdated in the style of notation used (I much prefer the more modern algebraic notation)."
