Description
It is hard to understate the importance of tactic ability to overall chess proficiency.
Of course other elements such as a knowledge of opening play and an understanding of strategy are also important.
However, it is undoubtedly the case that 99% of games are won or lost because one player either spots or overlooks a tactic.
Consider your own games and just imagine how much stronger you would be if you never overlooked a tactical idea.
The good news is that your tactical ability is not some genetically-acquired unalterable trait.
Tactical ability can always be improved through the application of diligent practice.
Tactical themes are repetitive. The same arrangements of pieces occur again and again and a continual study of the subtle interactions between the forces will inevitably lead to a greater sharpness in actual play. In Tactical Training, experienced chess coach and prolific author Cyrus Lakdawala guides the reader through numerous tactical themes.
Topics include:* Checkmating patterns. * The 32 major combinational concepts. * Numerous positions ranked in terms of level of difficulty. The final chapter focuses on a 2020 online match between Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura, currently the top two ranked players in blitz, the form of chess where tactics predominate.
