(7/4) Tactics Training:
Setting Up Conditions for Tactical
Combinations by Andres Hortillosa. "Navigating
to a position, which becomes the starting or staging point of a puzzle, is a
more important skill to labor on than the tactical skill to solve the
puzzles. The average player, when given enough time plus the customary
hint as to which side has the win and by how many moves, usually will be
able to solve even complex puzzles. But the skill to arrive to the
puzzle position on purpose or by design is a skill easily attributed to

Review:
Fighting the Ruy Lopez by GM Milos Pavolvic, reviewed

Kids Story:
Mzunga by Jon, as told by Rick

(7/4) Review:
Chess in Action by Paul Mantell and Dean
Ippolito (Sterling Publishing
Co, Inc., 2010), reviewed by Rick Kennedy. "There
are many books written
to introduce children to chess. Most do their job well. Some do
it with style. To stand out in this crowd, a book has to have
