"I really enjoyed this course; Manuel does a good job of making you think through all of the moves via the many activities. Thanks!"

Patrick B.

"Clear and progressive"

Phillip M.

"This course is about the ‘dark art’ of chess tactics. You are sure to encounter tactics in chess by their pseudonym ‘chess puzzles’ and more often than not the normal plan ‘checks, captures & attacks’ is enough to get by. However, you need to understand the philosophy behind these methods and also enhance your ‘tool kit’ whet it comes to solving puzzles. This course covers the how and the why with pdf files to practice on. The more courses on how to tackle chess tactics will mean the more you expose yourself to the various patterns and get a sense of what move is best."
