Title: The Woodpecker Method - hardcover |
|
The Woodpecker Method is the name given by Axel Smith to a training system developed by his compatriot Hans Tikkanen. After training with his method in 2010, Tikkanen achieved three GM norms within a seven-week period. The quick explanation of the Woodpecker Method is that you need to solve a large number of puzzles in a row; then solve the same puzzles again and again, only faster. It’s not a lazy shortcut to success – hard work is required. But the reward can be re-programming your unconscious mind. Benefits include sharper tactical vision, fewer blunders, better play when in time trouble and improved intuition. The book is intended for intermediate and stronger players. Exercises are split into three sections: Easy (222); Intermediate (762); Advanced (144) for a total of 1,128 test positions.Further information about the book and a sample are available at qualitychess.co.uk. GM Smith is the author of Pump Up Your Rating and e3 Poison, GM Tikkanen is 4x Swedish chasmpion. 2 pictures
