Learn to Win. Every Game. From Move One.

You know how the pieces move. Now it's time to learn how to use them. Chess tactics and checkmates are the fastest path to winning more games — and this book by Grandmaster Chris Ward is the clearest, most enjoyable guide to mastering them.

Whether you're just past the beginner stage or a club player looking to sharpen your weapons, this book meets you where you are and takes you further than you expected.

What You'll Master:

  • Essential checkmate patterns — the ones that end games in 5 moves or fewer
  • Forks, pins, and skewers — the core tactical weapons every player must know
  • Tricks and traps — how to set them, and how to avoid falling into them
  • Advanced checkmates — sneaky finishes that catch even strong players off guard
  • How to attack and defend pieces with confidence

Why This Book Works for Every Level

Beginners will build a rock-solid tactical foundation. Intermediate players will discover advanced patterns they've never seen before. And everyone will enjoy the moment their opponent walks straight into a trap they set three moves ago.

Written by a distinguished chess author and coach, packed with notes, tips, and warnings to guide you at every step.

Tactics win games. This book teaches you tactics. Simple as that.

A great enrichment toy to keep your dog occupied
Style: Fox
Do you have a small furry gremlin disguised as a dog in your life that needs entertaining while you work? Get yourself one of these! PROS - it keeps a smart dog occupied for anywhere between 10-20 minutes - if keeps a less than smart dog occupied a lot longer - you can fit quite a lot of treats of different sizes in there - you can throw it in the washing machine when it gets too dirty - also doubles as a tug of war toy CONS - it gets dirty fast - if you have a heavy chewer they'll rip it up and render it useless pretty quickly - it squeaks (good for dog not for human) This is one of my girls favourite toys, even now that she's a bit older and doesn't need constant stimulation she still enjoys running around with it and digging the treats out.

Dog loved it.
Style: Frog
Dog loved it, squeaker lasted about 5 minutes, which is about normal for any toy I’ve given her.

Frustrating and Not Durable
Style: Turtle
My Foxhound /Beagle mix had this toy torn in several places within minutes. He loves his toys, but this one seemed to frustrate him and me. The small slits are too tight for anything but kibble. The large pouch is too deep for treats, and would send kibble flying as soon as he shook it. Anything larger would get stuck! The pouch tore at the seams as soon as my dog tried to pull out a Milkbone. Only small treats would fit in the slits, and he’d lose interest with them. The squeaker was useless due to the large size and hardness of the head. The weight and size of the head and the length of the toy might be a problem for smaller dogs. This toy was returned.

GSP Approved!
Style: Frog
Our GSP loves this! It's only keeps her busy for a few minutes, but then she carries around for an hour. The pockets are a great size for training treats and the Velcro has held up well despite repeated daily use!
