Much of my lesson content is based upon books like these:

Strategy Puzzles

Seirawan's Tactics

The master games featured at the end of the book are magnificient and I love teaching them.

Art of Attack

In eighth grade when other kids were out playing in the summer sun, I became obsessed with every single nugget of information this book could provide. It became a center piece of my lessons that I never grow tired of.
