I need to brush up on some Chemistry over Summer, and I wondered if anyone knew of some problem books pitched at a similar level to Irodov's problem book for Physics, or things like IChO questions. Preferably it would include all of physical, inorganic and organic, to some degree. I get various hits on google (like this one) but it's hard to tell what's good and what's not, so I thought I'd ask here! Thanks.

It probably isn't too well known, but there is an English-translated version (Yuri Atanov). I'm not sure how many other languages are available, though!

Only because Russian professors here in the U.S. pull test questions from them.

yes and these tests do not look trivia for students

In Brazil Irodov and Saraeva, Landau are really famous books.
The mir moscou is famous.
