Zenon Franco
"Chess is 99% tactics" said Richard Teichmann and there is no better way of improving your tactical ability than by solving puzzles such as the 1001 contained in this book. Paraguayan born Grandmaster Zenon Franco has searched recent events and used powerful computers to seek out previously unpublished puzzles. He has also drawn extensively upon Latin American sources for brilliant examples from the last three decades.
Franco begins with a chapter describing the most important tactical ideas and follows with seven themed chapters of puzzles and three sections of test puzzles where points can be scored and your Elo rating estimated. The puzzles become increasingly difficult as you progress through the book and through each chapter, beginning with 100 relatively easy positions suitable for novices, and ending with 100 extremely tough puzzles, which provide a mind-bending challenge even for grandmasters. Solutions to all the puzzles are provided with analysis and text explanation in each case.
Zenon Franco is a grandmaster from Paraguay who now lives in Spain. He is an experienced chess trainer, his most notable pupil being Paco Vallejo, now one of the world's top grandmasters, whom he taught from 1995 to 1999.
Pub. 2010, softback, 288 pages.
