Best-selling and award-winning author Igor Khmelnitsky gathers examples from Bobby Fischer's games that are educational, and entertaining, and can be studied without a board. In each of the examples you will take a seat of Fischer's opponent and be asked to come up with an assessment and a move. Based on your response you are assigned points towards your rating evaluation and a game score towards your "match." Once finished, you will learn how well you have done in the "match," have an estimate of your rating, and know what you need to work on to improve your game.

I hope my new book will be as interesting and as successful as my first Chess Exam released in 2004. It is now in its 4th printing, has won 2005 Cramer award for Best Book from CJA (Chess Journalists of America), scored rave reviews and has been translated into French, Russian and Italian languages by the major publishing houses. My second book Chess Exam Tactics released in 2007 was a very successful follow-up and now is in 2nd printing.

Lev Alburt , grandmaster, former U.S. Champion: " Chess Exam is an ideal book for chess players of all levels. Those who like the serious and scientific approach will focus on evaluating their skills via special testing.
