If you had to choose a single chess item to take to a desert island, then how about this – a superb selection of 100 puzzles to solve. In this first volume of a new series, Wesley So, Super-Grandmaster and 2017 US Champion, offers us 100 key tactics and decisions from his own recent games.

The book begins with some warm-up examples to keep you match fit. As the book progresses Wesley has arranged for your task to get harder – and harder! He writes: “I searched for instructive ‘moments’ which were naturally supposed to be for other players ‘out there’. However, as these things often turn out, the subject-matter became educational material for my own studies in the way of self-examination. … Puzzles are meant for fun and relaxation and there is always the random possibility you might learn a few things. (I know I did!)”
