Practical Chess Notebook 2: Spectacular Combinations
 The great chess teachers have always agreed on one point: solving numerous combinatorial exercises (hundreds or even thousands) is the best way to broaden one's tactical vision and to be able to create combinations in competitive chess. The exercises in this notebook illustrate the combinatorial themes studied in chapters 5 and 7 of Chess School, also covered in chapter 3 (Combinatorial Figures) of Chess School 2. Players who wish to broaden their knowledge of tactical themes can consult the books Mate Combination Technique and Chess Tactics School.
 There is only one formula for progressing in chess: playing as many tournaments as possible, along with theoretical study and analysis of one's own games. The ideal complement to this formula, as many Grand Masters recommend, is for the player to develop and perfect his tactical and strategic ability by solving numerous exercises, specially selected for their usefulness. Like the ones we offer you here.
