There are plenty of good tactics books out there. But if you want the tactics to favor you, you must have a good position to begin with—and that's where positional play comes in. However, strategic play is one of the most challenging aspects of chess.
But every dark cloud has a silver lining. Having an excellent positional understanding of the game can give you an unfair advantage against your opponents. But how can you learn such a complex skill?
It's a well-known fact that the secret to high-performance athletes is pattern recognition. They can subconsciously identify what's going on and instinctively reply accordingly.
In the Woodpecker Method 2, author GM Axel Smith gives you the tools to imprint common positional chess patterns into your subconscious. With his training method, you'll instinctively know what to play—just like the masters do.
But how does the course actually work?
The Woodpecker Method 2 comes with 1,000 exercises focused on correct positional play. The author carefully selected each exercise based mostly on games by former world champions. They were then extensively tested by talented GMs, including GM Nodirbek Abdusattorov, who has climbed into the top 10 since then.
The author pledges readers to go through these exercises using the famous Woodpecker Method. Through this unique drilling technique, you'll quickly see your ability to find the right moves skyrocket—even in the most complicated of middlegames!
The Woodpecker Method 2 follows up on the success of its tactics-focused predecessor. The Woodpecker Method, published for the first time in 2018, quickly generated a lot of buzz among chess improvers. Since then, it has been among the most popular courses on Chessable!
Now, author GM Axel Smith is ready to help a new legion of players improve their positional chess, just as he did with tactics six years ago.
