Field notes
The listed beginner chapters cover mate in one, hanging pieces, forks, pins, skewers, and mate in two; the intermediate book shifts toward combinations and defensive responses. The page says positions are ordered from “plain to nasty,” and describes stapled binding, ruled answer space, and worked solutions in the back. It cautions that puzzle ratings do not translate directly to game ratings.
