How Good Is Your Chess?

This book is a great learning tool because it is both fun and challenging. Grandmaster Larry Evans draws upon his vast chess experience to present this innovative and entertaining way of testing your chess skills and calculating you chess rating. All 100 positions presented are from actual games. You are given three possible moves to choose from. Based on your answers, you will be able to calculate your chess rating. Once you've chosen the best move among the three choices given, you can review the solutions section, where Evans carefully explains the logic behind each winning move, and the traps awaiting the inferior alternatives.

Larry Evans is a 5-time USA champion, author of 25 books, and the "dean" of American chess. His nationally syndicated column, "Evans on Chess," has appeared continuously since 1971.
