Tactics are the art of combat command. When tactics dominate concrete action is required immediately in order to grab an opportunity.

However in complicated positions and with determined resistance basic tactics are often insufficient and intuition, imagination and precision are necessary.

The Magic of Chess Tactics DVD helps to develop these qualities and offers a multitude of highly interesting, thoroughly analysed examples as well as detailed explanations and exercises.

The positions brought into focus are usually beyond a quick solution, put concentration and calculating power to the test and contain instructive material for quite a lot of training courses. 

The Magic of Chess Tactics was originally published in 2002 as a book by Russell Enterprises. It has been considerably improved and expanded over the last few years.

Now it is presented as training DVD, for the very first time in the popular ChessBase format. It comes with Fritztrainer Videos, where Grandmaster Karsten Müller shows a selection of attractive duels. 

As a bonus this DVD contains many additional tactical brilliancies including a collection of the creative achievements of the five memorable great masters of attack: Tal, Spielmann, Neshmetdinov, Stein and Bronstein. 

This is a demanding training DVD aimed primarily at aspiring chess players from club to master level who want to study on the basis of practical, thorough and fascinating middle- and endgames.

Fide Master Claus Dieter Meyer (1946), one of the most experienced German A-trainers.
