Chess Compositions
We've been adding to this subject left and write (pun
intended!) so much, we decided it deserved it's own 'home' page. We've
gathered in one place links to all the chess composition related material we
could find at Chessville.

These fascinating positions were culled from composers,
famous or sometimes not so famous games, or other noteworthy sources to
tickle your imagination, and invigorate your chessic senses. We
present these Chessprints for the sheer joy they bring, but if you
accidentally happen to learn something in the process...well, don't say
we didn't warn you! |

The
Problem
of the Week |
The Problem of the
Week's target audience is approximately 1300-1900 Elo.
The Archives contain
every single Problem of
the Week we have ever posted, listed both chronologically (best for
tactical training) and by tactic (best for learning or brushing up on a
new tactic.) |
|
Tactical Exercises |
These collections of
tactics are from Fred Reinfeld's 1001 Winning Chess Sacrifices and
Combinations. (Our files do not contain any text or analysis --
only the bare positions and an indication of whether it is White or
Black to move.) The files are sorted by theme, and there is also a
master collection which contains all 1001 positions, if you'd rather
download it that way. |
