This book includes examples of combinations and test positions taken from games and books dating from the ninth century onwards and presented in chronological order. From Greco's era through to that of Kasparov, Kramnik, Morozevich etc. each chapter contains examples of the best and most important combinational ideas as well as puzzle positions in a "How Would You Play?" section. World champion Vladimir Kramnik writes in his preface: "Huge chunks of chess history from the nineteenth century are omitted from textbooks. This book was designed to fill the gap. While it is hard to determine which games are the most famous, let alone the best, Chess Gems contains many beautiful combinations that have amazed and delighted chess fans." This book will improve both your knowledge of combinational ideas and chess history at the same time.
