Presented here for the first time are the personal favorites of Russian master Boris Archangelsky and Grandmaster Anatoly Lein, with numerous examples from the old Soviet Union.

Experienced players will be able to solve most of the one and two-star examples, but the three and four-star problems should be played through on your board when studied for the first time. The problems gradually get more difficult as you move through the book. Tt is important that the student not spend too much time trying to solve each problem, particularly the three and four-star examples, which are not all forced. Far better is to spend five toten minutes per example. If the answer is not apparent to you, simply look it up, try to remember the idea(s) and keep moving. Having once seen the solution, you will remember it the next time this theme comes up in one of your own games. The point is to see as many ideas as you can in the shortest possible time. You will be astounded at the improvement you make as you go through the book a second and third time. These patterns are occurring over and over again in your games, and right now is the time to start learning to see and take advantage of them. Begin going through the book now, and remember, KEEP MOVING! This is the fastest way to improve your chess!
