  • Hold’Em Poker for Advanced Players

     Originally released in 1988, Sklanksy and Malmuth updated Hold em Poker for Advanced Players in 1999 and called it the 21st century edition. Poker has, and continues to change over the years, and the updated edition reflects some of those changes. The primary changes include updated hand rankings, as well as particular sessions about non-standard (Shorthanded, Wild, extra loose) games. As the rules of poker continue to change, adjusting your play for who you are playing against becomes more and more important, and the sections on these non-standard games are invaluable for the serious card player.

  • Improve Your Attacking Chess

     As the study of tactics is recommended especially to young and improving chess players, some puzzle books group their exercises not only by theme, but also grade them by difficulty; and some include introductory bits of text that steer the reader in the general direction of the solution. On one hand, purists can protest you’re giving away the answer! while budding Alekhines and Kasparovs will be asking what should I be looking for, what’s important in this position, what do I need – beyond raw calculating power – to solve this thing? For many readers, the “hint” not only makes the difference between a discovery Aha! experience and some otherwise mind-numbing frustration (followed by book-throwing), it teases out and focuses on important factors in the position – a teaching tool in itself.
