999 Chess Problems by Yakov Vladimirov (hardcover)

This 1000 Chess Problems by Yakov Vladimirov is an English-language hardcover chess book for readers who want to study chess composition and work through a substantial set of well-explained problems. It is the kind of book you can return to again and again, whether you want focused study or a quick look at a single page.

What’s inside

The book brings together 1,000 chess problems, and its real strength lies in the solution commentary. The explanations do more than give the answer: they help show the idea behind each task, the tactical motifs involved and the artistic side of the composition.

That makes it a good choice for players who enjoy analysis, imagination and the more creative side of the game. With its hardcover binding and substantial 376-page format, it is also a book that sits well on a home chess shelf.

Reviews

“1000 Chess Problems is excellent and the commentary to the solutions has just the right mix of education and entertainment. The book can be opened on any random page and you will be sure to find pure gold from the treasuries of chess compositions.”

Dr. Steven Dowd, chess composer, added:

“The explanations to the solutions are the best I have ever seen in a book of this nature.”
