250 mate in 1 chess puzzles for beginner and intermediate chess players. What sets this series apart from other puzzle books is its focus on realistic positions drawn from actual games.

Instead, they are pulled from the games of everyday players — from casual chess enthusiasts to seasoned competitors. This makes the positions you’ll encounter in these pages directly relevant to the kinds of situations you’ll face over the board. You’ll be learning patterns that apply to the everyday matches you’re likely to encounter.
