Series: How to Beat Anyone at Chess

Build new chess skills and practice key tactics with these 500 entertaining, beginner chess exercises so you can improve your game.

For new chess enthusiasts who are eager to practice and grow their skills, Beginner Chess Puzzles has hundreds of puzzles to up your game!

500 puzzles take you through all the tactical motifs that beginners need to know—the fundamentals (including capturing and defending pieces), tactics (forks, pins, and skewers, discovered attacks and checks, and removing the defense), and checkmate patterns. Including the basic instructions for how to solve chess puzzles, Beginner Chess Puzzles is packed with clear and detailed explanations of each key tactical motif and pattern with puzzles to practice each.

As players advance through the lessons, they’ll gain confidence as puzzles gradually increase in difficulty. “Workout” sections throughout include puzzles that practice any of the skills learned up to that point; without additional information, players must detect which motifs need to be deployed—much like in an actual chess game.

Clear chessboard diagrams allow players to picture every puzzle, and the detailed answer key carefully explains how to get to the best solution. Allowing new players to improve skills on their own, offline, and in a take-anywhere format, Beginner Chess Puzzles is the perfect gift for chess fanatics of any age.
