Sam Cicero

I am an amateur player who has played chess for many years at club level and on various online chess sites. My aim is to write books that are clearly written and formatted, accurate and instructive, and great value for their cost. I hope that you will enjoy reading my books, and that they will improve your chess skills. Endorsement: "I love using Sam's books for my students as the chapter puzzles are categorized by PLYs. This progression of difficulty allows a coach to see a student's Chess Vision Level and find the right type of Tactics to work with. My students are excited to do these as warm-up puzzles before I begin my Mini-Lessons. Thank you Mr. Cicero!"

Bobby Fischer now played the brilliant 17.Be6!!, sacrificing the queen for a mating attack. It was an amazing achievement by Fischer, who was only thirteen at the time. This game was later called "The Game of the Century".
