Magic Chess Moves by Michal Konopka (HC)

This Magic Chess Moves by Michal Konopka is a hardcover chess training book built around tactical exercises and practical improvement, with 317 positions to work through at a range of difficulty levels.

What this book covers

Michal Konopka does more than present diagrams and solutions. He guides the reader through the exercises while also sharing his thoughts on tactics, how to train them, and how to develop chess skill in a practical way. The book also includes reflections drawn from the author’s own experience and from a coach’s perspective on learning.

Its strength lies in the way it brings together material from tournament games and examples from chess compositions. That mix helps the reader practise solving positions while also learning to recognise ideas that can be used more easily over the board.
