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.
