They are all good books, some are better than others. Yet, they are good drill books to practice tactics. I don't have all the books you have listed below, only a few, the 1001 Winning Chess Sacrifices and Combinations is good. Attacking the king is quite an easy reading about methods of attacking a king. IMHO The Art of Attack by Vukovic is more complete and better book. The other Tactics book I have is Encyclopedia of Middlegames, which is very good because of some positions are very difficult to solve. Test Your Chess IQ 1, 2, 3 are excellent quiz books. I use my chess engines to verify the solution, sometimes there's more than one solution or the solution is flawed. If you really want to save some money instead of buying all chess tactis books, the best computer training tactics is CT-Art 3.0. It has over 1000 chess positions. For a review goto the Web Computer Chess Review in ICD Chess. Komputer Korner and Larry Kaufmann gives thumbs up for this program. So do I. :) Laurence
