Tactics training

Here is a video I did a while back for LeChess club on the Internet Chess Club. It utilises their trainingbot computer. The method I suggest might seem rather long-winded, but tactics is all about improving your store of known positions. This requires constant exposure to simple patterns until the answer becomes automatic to you. The Russian school of chess have known this for some time. It is a very useful tool, and I went from 1700-1900 by doing these exercises.

Enjoy!

Fantastic Jim. Very thoughtful video. I knew about TrainingBot but never actually used it. Im a fan now, thanks for showing this insightful presentation.
