BOOK 2 - SPECTACULAR COMBINATIONS
 The great chess teachers have always agreed on one thing: solving numerous combinatorial exercises (hundreds or even thousands) is the best way to broaden your tactical vision and be able to create combinations in competitive chess.
 The exercises in this booklet illustrate the combinatorial themes studied in chapters 5 and 7 of Chess School, which are also covered in chapter 3 (Combinatorial Figures) of Chess School 2. Players wishing to broaden their knowledge of tactical topics may wish to consult the books Technique of Mate Combinations and School of Chess Tactics.
 There is only one known formula for progress in chess: play as many games as possible, together with theoretical study and analysis of the games themselves. The ideal complement to this formula, as many great masters recommend, is 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.
