Most tactical courses and books present players with a wide range of tactical puzzles and concepts. While working through these puzzles can certainly help, this is not the most effective way to internalize tactical patterns and spot them in your games.
In 100 Tactical Patterns You Must Know, FM Frank Erwich takes on a different approach. The author focuses on the specific arrangement of pieces that enable tactics to happen. He has also selected the 100 most common tactical patterns that players rated between 1400 and 2000 will come across.
Finally, the course comes with handy flashcards that will help drill the tactical patterns in your mind. These flashcards will show you how each pattern is driven by just two to four interconnected pieces. This simplified demonstration of each pattern will remove all the noise of the position and help you memorize the piece formation that truly matters.
This concrete approach to tactics training will help you to immediately spot any opportunity that may arise during your game—and take advantage of it.
Erwich is a seasoned trainer, a best-selling chess author, and an editor for New in Chess, one of the most respected publishing houses in the chess world. He also has a Master's Degree in psychology, which gives him unique insight into how people learn.
Joining you through this journey is IM Kostya Kavutskiy, one of the co-founders of the popular Chess Dojo channel. A popular creator among improvers, Kostya uses his exceptional presentation skills to guide you through the 12 chapters of this course.
