Turbo-Charge your Tactics 1

Turbo-Charge Your Tactics 1 is essentially a chess puzzle book, but not a typical one. It’s a multi-year effort by GM Mykhaylo Oleksiyenko and his world-renowned trainer IM Vladimir Grabinsky to introduce you to the world of “unnatural” tactical moves.

Presenting examples of extreme beauty, no matter where they come from – be it online bullet or world-class grandmaster praxis – this book will cure your “selective blindness” by destroying the false notion of chess principles being a set of rules, instead of helpful guidelines. Most chess games are decided by tactics, so solving tactical puzzles is the most effective path to improvement.

GM Mykhaylo Oleksiyenko was Ukrainian Champion in 2016, and is a respected trainer and content creator. He also holds a PhD in Mathematics.

IM Vladimir Grabinsky is a coach who is world-famous for his work with many strong Ukrainian Grandmasters.

“Turbo-Charge Your Tactics is a unique puzzle book that focuses on developing your calculation, visualization, and imagination, but it puts an emphasis on weird and astonishing positions and moves, which makes it almost one of a kind.”
