According to J.-R. Capablanca: Teichmann was one of the most subtle positional players. Yet it was Teichmann who's famous quote "Chess consists of tactics for 90 per cent" is often repeated over and over again.
I know that in the last year I have read this statement over and over again. It made such an impact on me and I decieded to do something about it. After joining a chess club I stopped by a chess store in my area. The man there was very helpful and point me towards a set of books Winning Chess Puzzles for Kids Vol. 1 and Vol. 2.
by Jeff Coakley . The owner stated that if I could go through all 2000+ problem I would jump from my elo of 900 to 1200 easily. Well a year later all the problems are done and I am +1300.
I can say if you can get past the embarsement of using childrens books with their goofy pictures and sayings these books are very useful; and I recommend them.
