Focusing on typical piece configurations allows you to evaluate and decide more quickly and efficiently in certain positions.
In addition to this book, there is also The 100 Tactical Patterns You Must Know Workbook. In this workbook, you can test the knowledge gained in this book with over 500 exercises.
