What is the best chess tactics book and why?
I am looking to teach someone how to play chess.
Having shown them the moves and one or two strategically ‘basics’ such as moving the pawns in the middle first, I am looking to sharpen their tactical ability so that they can spot things such as forks and skewers and win material.
I would be very grateful if chess players could advise what chess book you would recommend to help me and why.
I can recommend two excellent books that just happen to be written by two people in the same family. The first is "Chess Tactics for Champions" by Susan Polgar. She is a four-time Woman's World Champion. The second was written by her father Laszlo Polgar. His book contains 5334 problems, combinations and games. Each section builds on the last and they get more difficult as they go along.
You can also direct them to two excellent sites on the web to help them improve their tactical skills. The first is http://chesstempo.com/. This website is excellent for early tactical training. The second site is Chess Tactics Server at: http://chess.emrald.net/ which would suit someone with some experience as they put time pressure on the puzzles. So, you have two books and two websites to work with depending on the medium you prefer.
Hope that helps!
