Improve your chess with "the woodpecker method"


My chess training regimen includes puzzle/tactic training on sites like chess.com and lichess.org. Correct solutions give you points; mistakes take your rating down. I recommend puzzle training to all of my students. 

Today I found out about the Woodpecker Method, developed by GM Hans Tikkanen. It consists of puzzles that you have to solve but it doesn't stop there. Once you go through the puzzle set, you do it again except faster! And then again, faster. 

This approach has huge benefits: 

tactical vision

fewer blunders

better play when in time trouble

improved intuition


The Woodpecker Method by Axel Smith and Hans Tikkanen is published by Quality Chess.


Easy tactic: spot it in seconds.
