The 100 Tactical Patterns You Must Know Workbook

This workbook offers over five hundred carefully selected exercises to accompany the book 100 Tactical Patterns You Must Know.

Experienced chess trainer Frank Erwich has not only identified the 100 most important tactical patterns, he has also collected hundreds of exercises for you to train these patterns. Solving these puzzles will drive home the key ideas, refresh your knowledge and improve your technique.

It is probably best to study the manual and workbook together, but you can also use the workbook as a stand-alone training tool as each pattern is summarised.

Reviews

IM John Watson (Chess Life magazine)
“The workbook is more appropriate for a student who is trying to improve by applied study and calculation exercises, whereas 100 Tactical Patterns You Must Know has more verbal explanations and will appeal to someone with limited time who wants to learn the patterns without needing to simulate over-the-board thinking conditions.”

Stjepan Tomić (chessreads.com)
“An excellent beginner-friendly tactics book that will help you learn how to navigate the most frequently occurring tactical motifs. Most importantly, it focuses on developing your skill in problem solving, calculation, and visualization.”
