	Chess puzzle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The puzzle positions are seldom similar to positions from actual play, and the challenge is not to find a winning move, but rather to find the (usually unique) move which forces checkmate as rapidly as possible.
		Heterodox chess puzzles involve conditions that are impossible with normal play such as multiple Kings, or chess variants, while fairy puzzles employ pieces not used in orthodox chess, such as the amazon (a piece combining the powers of the queen and the knight).
		Chess puzzles can also be regular positions from a game (with normal rules), usually meant as training positions, tactical or positional, from all phases of the game (openings, middlegame of endings).

		All of the puzzles are from actual games from high level competitions, or from related analysis (detailed references to the players and events are given in the solution section) - as opposed to compositions or studies, which can be quite artificial.
		Based on the level of difficulty of the puzzles, I would recommend this book to anyone who has familiarity with standard tactical themes, and is ready for the next level.
