Tactics Book

What is the best chess program for tactics? What programs have you used for tactics?

I'm not looking for general programs such as fritz but a program that specializes in tactics. I've heard that CT art 3.0 is pretty good but I'm wondering if there are others since I'm starting a tactics regiment. I'm an amateur player but I don't want a tactic program for beginners, so the more advanced the better. Also I'm not looking for a tactics book though there are many good ones out. I will try and give a best answer.

My old coach, NM Aleksandr Kitsis, recomended CT art to me and I finished up the free trial version and liked it a lot but not enough to buy the full version. I suggest trying the demo and seeing if you like it.

If you don't like it then you probably won't like other tactic programs.

For tactics I usually just use books. The absolute best for this is Dvoretsky's Analytical Manual, which is great for any players from 1500 to about 2500, meaning anyone can get better with this.

One of the things Dvoretsky does that I like is, in his practice games, he'll periodically stop, give a diagram, and ask you to find the best move. I set a chess clock for 10 minutes and try to work everything out and I get it right maybe half the time at most. A standard game that he gives will have 30 questions, span 20 pages, and take countless hours to do correctly.

Other attacking books like Jacob Aagaard's "Attacking Manuel" series of the classic Vukevic's "The Art of Attack in Chess" are also excellent.

Fleet Tactics and Coastal Combat

$50.89

This major revision updates Wayne Hughes's 1986 landmark study that is credited with providing decision makers a sound foundation for battle planning and tactical thinking. The book integrates the historical evolution of tactics, analysis, and fleet operations, and today it can serve as a primer for anyone who wants to learn how navies fight and win. This second edition includes much new material on combat in the missile age and reflects the reconfiguration of many tactics for littoral operations after the fall of the Soviet Union. Hughes recreates famous battles to show how tactics have changed through the ages and the ways in which they have remained unchanged. He covers tactical interaction between land and sea, the sensory revolution of WWII, secret weapons and maritime surprise, the role in battle of leadership and morale, and the importance of surface warships in today's U.S. fleet. He suggests that naval tactics, unlike ground combat, are dominated by the offense and concludes that the great tactical maxim must be attack effectively first. A new chapter traces the evolution of missile tactics at sea and includes details of attacks on ships. Many changes emphasize joint operations and coastal combat. The already extensive appraisal of command and control and information warfare is further expanded to cover modem naval operations and the character of modem salvo warfare. In the tradition of Mahan and Clauswitz, this classic text incorporates literature, politics, and a knowledge of human nature. Indispensable reading for all those interested in naval tactics, it is also a valuable reference for wargamers.
