An excellent INTRODUCTION to tactics. Clear and easy to understand for those new to chess. I would not recommend the book to intermediate players.

The best volume in this introductory chess series. Beginners should practice their tactics and ignore the rest until later.

This book has some great tactical training. Well written book from Yasser Seirawan and Jeremy Silman.
I love this series. Yasser is a good chess author and doesn't get too embroiled in explaining every varition.

Recommends it for:
Anyone who knows how to play chess
A good solid foundation of the tactics of Chess. I have finished reading it, but I still am going to go back and solve all of the problems, many of which I just skipped knowing that I would get back to it soon.
Read this with a board in front of you, and when you finish a chapter, take the test positions seriously. Set up positions and try to solve them WITHOUT TOUCHING PIECES. Do this through the *entire book* and enjoy how much sharper a chess player you've become.
An excellent and thorough (it seemed to me) introduction to chess tactics. It has really started me thinking about chess in a far more constructive manner, and my rating is improving because of this.
Next - his book on strategy ... :)
