"Nowadays, in the computer-era, it is essential to calculate as quickly and as precisely as possible in order to achieve success in chess. Solving puzzles is the best way to improve our skills in this area, and at the same time it's one of the most entertaining aspects of chess - to deliver mate or win material with a beautiful sacrifice!
