Afina tu antena táctica en el ajedrez

This Tune Your Chess Tactics Antenna is a practical chess tactics book by Emmanuel Neiman that helps you recognise when a position contains a real tactical chance and it is time to start calculating.

What the book teaches

In puzzle books, the task is obvious from the start. In a real game, you have to recognise for yourself when an attack, fork, pin or mating idea is beginning to appear. Neiman focuses on exactly that problem and explains how to read the signals that reveal a tactical opportunity.

The book presents seven main signals that help you identify the right moment to begin your calculation. Through many instructive examples, it shows how to interpret those clues and find the decisive move. The emphasis is firmly on practical play: it is designed to sharpen tactical vision and improve the way you think at the board.
