Match wits with the Grandmasters

The combat simulator consists of 50 grandmaster games, laid out like
Pandolfini's "Solitaire Chess" column in Chess Life magazine. Points
are earned for guessing the right moves. There is often more than one
choice, and partial credit is given. After the game is over and
scoring is complete, Bosch goes through the game again with full
annotations. Therefore this approach is a little less efficient than
Pandolfini's, but more realistic in terms of simulating true combat,
where there aren't artificial hints along the way. The scores are
converted to approximate ELO ratings, from 1600 up to 2500+. That
suggests that the book is targeted to fairly strong players, certainly
no lower than 1600, and perhaps even 1800 would be a reasonable lower
bound. I found the book to be extremely challenging, but also very
instructive. For those willing to put in some hard work, this book
will help you to sharpen your ability to analyze positions deeply.

Solataire chess at its finest!

If you enjoy playing solataire chess then this is a book you must have. Even if you dont use the rating scale, its a very fine collection of games with first rate analysis. Dont shy away becasue the ratings start at 1600. Anybody willing to put in the work will no doubt improve by going through this book. I own many books but these are the ones I cannot put down and usually finish within a month. My rating is right around 1800 but I have been scoring in the 2200's so the scale is very inflated.

Extremely challenging and fun

If you like solitare chess, then this is very similar. Only you get the answers after you have completed all of your moves, then you get the game with annotated. The combats are extremely challenging, maybe too hard for most kids. To get prepared for this stage of training, I reccomend that you first work through the awesome "Chess for Juniors" books. Also, you should do a lot of tactics. Each combat will take a long time, but it's worth it.
