303 Perplexing Chess Puzzles (Mensa®)

Building on the earlier 303 Tactical Chess Puzzles, this collection of fun chess exercises provides a rigorous practice regimen designed to develop players’ strategic abilities. One hundred scenarios for each of 3 levels (advanced beginner, intermediate, and tournament) challenge players to resolve chess problems requiring multiple “ply” (a movement for one side only) solutions. To facilitate concentration, only 2 illustrations appear on each page, with a slight parenthetical hint at the top of each position. Answers to each puzzle and a tactics index allow players to study examples of individual strategies.
