Spectacular Combinations was the theme of the second Practical Notebook. The study of combinations occupies an important place in the author's work, to which chapters 5 and 7 of the School of Chess, as well as the third of the School of Chess 2 and, of course, most of the Encyclopedia of Tactics, in three volumes, are dedicated, among others. It is usually defined as a forced variation with sacrifices, but here we will exclude the traditional one by themes (double attack, pin, etc.) because, at this point, it is already somewhat schematic, reducing the exercises in this notebook to four chapters of a broad spectrum, with the aim of not providing too many clues to the reader and to preserve the versatility of modern chess, since, except in the case of the first (Protagonism of Artillery), the chapters are not technically descriptive. All the positions included here were produced in international competitions (or high-level Spanish ones). Except for five (one from 2003 and four from 2006), all the others correspond to games played since 2007. To progress in chess, there is only one formula known: play as many games as possible, together with theoretical study and analysis of the games themselves. The ideal complement to this formula is, as many grandmasters recommend, for the player to develop and perfect his tactical and strategic skills by solving numerous exercises, specially selected for their usefulness. Like the ones we offer here.
