Do you want to try out a new systematic chess training method to get you to past the beginner level?

The Tactics Ladder

The Tactics Ladder offers 1000 of the highest user-rated puzzles selected from the Lichess puzzle database. This book is for chess players working to reach the expert level. All the puzzles have been extracted from real amateur games, so the patterns can occur in your games as well.

The book makes it easy to use spaced repetition or the woodpecker training method on a large number of puzzles on an even difficulty level. The woodpecker method is to repeat the puzzles seven times in cycles to imprint the tactical patterns and make you spot them in seconds.


This book includes:
  • 1000 of the highest user-appreciated puzzles out of a database of 2,1 million puzzles
  • A methodical approach to tactics training to gain flow
  • A tracking table to follow your progress
  • For players aiming at reaching a 1000 FIDE rating

To do this I have used the Lichess puzzle database. It contains 2,132,989 chess puzzles that are rated and tagged. This has given me the opportunity to select puzzles of the same difficulty throughout this book. In this way, you should not experience that you run your head against the wall, but that you reach a good flow while solving. The Lichess data suggest that there is a good correlation between puzzle-solving abilities by puzzle rating) and chess-playing ability.

This is not science but can be used as a guide. The first three books have already been published.

Now the fourth book is ready for those players aiming to hit the 1000 FIDE rating or for beginners who want to improve at tactics.

Puzzle selection

The book contains 10 chapters with 100 puzzles in each. Each chapter has a specific theme, while the last chapter is a test with mixed puzzles.

To sort out bad puzzles I have used the Lichess data. The user upvotes and downvotes each puzzle after each try. The puzzle is then given a popularity rating and only the best-rated puzzles have been used for this book.

The Solutions

The solutions given to the puzzles are without any explanations, variations, and annotations. The solutions are “only moves”, which means that you need to find them in order to solve the puzzles correctly. You might find other solutions, but one of your variations should match the solution given in the book.
If you are searching for a book with explanations and guidance, this series is not for you.

The Proposed Method

It is suggested that you solve each chapter 3 times. The best method is to write down the solution on paper and check the solutions afterward

The book includes a tracking table where you can fill out your results. Aim for scoring 90/100 puzzles or 90 % in each chapter. I suggest that you give 1 point for having found the full solution, and ½ point if you write the correct move but do not write down the full solution.

The book is a perfect size, large enough to write in and visualize the content. 1000 problems with different themes categorized by chapter. 10 chapters with 100 problems each. The only negative I have, is the book is supposed to come with a Tracking Table sheet in the back of the book, as stated in the introduction. My book was missing this page!?!?! Must be an overlooked mistake.... but even without this, it WELL WORTH the cost. Thank you Martin!

The book is well received by parents to cut down electronic screen time for their kids. However, the diagram and page formatting has room for improvement. The dark tone of the diagrams makes it not so clear to read. There is too much margin space around. Can make the book smaller and save some paper and printing costs. The price is very reasonable for the number of practice exercises. It should have been five stars if not for the less-than-ideal layout.
