This 900 Chess Opening Puzzles by M. Surman is a chess book built around 900 opening puzzles, each one designed to help you spot traps and choose the right move in the early phase of the game.
What the book covers
Each exercise asks you to find the correct move in the opening. That makes the book more than a collection of examples: it is a puzzle-based way to practise opening play, recognise threats and get used to the tactical motifs that often decide the first moves.
M. Surman takes you through traps found in a wide range of chess openings, so you can work on alertness from move one and become quicker at noticing opportunities and dangers over the board.
Why work through opening puzzles?
- helps you make better decisions at the start of the game
- trains recognition of common opening traps
- develops practical thinking through move selection
- lets you study in short sessions, one puzzle at a time
- combines opening study with tactical awareness practice
This is a good choice for players preparing for tournament or casual play, as well as anyone looking for a chess book with a clear practical focus.
