Understanding chess tactics | How to calculate tactics well

This course will boost your understanding of chess and will sharpen your tactical vision. By the end of the course you will truly understand why chess tactics appeared in the position, what were the signs that triggered the combination, what exact steps does it take to find most chess combinations. Spoiler alert: I am going to take away a little bit of mystery out of chess and replace it with some logic!

Learn and Master Chess Tactics with Successful Grandmaster

· Find chess combinations efficiently

· Recognize the signs that trigger tactics

· Learn typical tactical patterns

· Build up your understanding of chess

This course will get your calculation abilities to the next level

The course is for Beginner to Intermediate chess players. I also put several examples that would be interesting even for grandmasters but I explained them in the fashion that anyone with a basic understanding of how chess pieces move could get it. In the final section, I am going to show an opening combination that many grandmasters do not know (including yours truly until the year 2014).

After you finish the course, you will be able to understand most chess combinations that you will see on a much deeper level.

The course is broken into 5 sections.

Section 1: I explain what are 4 main questions to ask during the game and how they help you find chess tactics

Section 2: I use relatively simple puzzles to show how my method is working. You will learn additional helpful questions besides the four main ones.

Section 3: I show how to use my method to crack much harder puzzles.

Section 4: Covers the most important tactical motifs and the signs that trigger those motifs.

Section 5: You will find GM games and one tricky opening tactic that many high-class GMs do not know! You will find a summary of the course at the end.

Each section has downloadable pdf and pgn files with previously analyzed positions.
