مجموعة من الألغاز الشطرنجية عددها (202) مسألة تتركز جميعها على النهايات، وتتدرج من كش مات في خطوة واحدة وحتى ثلاث خطوات

لست في حاجة إلى أي رقعات شطرنجية، تستطيع حلها بسهولة أثناء إشارات العباسية وروكسي وأي ازدحام مروري آخر

انصح بها الجميع؛ حقا ممتعة

The one move solutions were ,most of the time, more complex than the two solution problems. a good ,I don't know intermediate beginner book?

A good book for the plane, as you can solve these chess problems without needing a practice board.
