Escuela de Táctica de Ajedrez, parte 2

This Chess Tactics School, Part 2 is a chess tactics workbook for children and beginner players in their first and second year of learning. The exercises are arranged from easier positions to more demanding ones, so the book builds tactical skill step by step.

Written by Grandmaster Jerzy Zezulkin, it is designed for regular training. You can use it for self-study, club sessions or lessons with a coach, and each diagram leaves space for writing in the solution, so it works as a proper exercise book rather than just a collection of positions.

What’s inside

The second part of the series contains 300 tasks focused on the most important mating patterns at the early stages of learning:

• 100 mate-in-one tasks with a large number of pieces, typical of the opening phase,
• 188 mate-in-two tasks,
• 12 chess puzzles.

This structure helps develop pattern recognition, calculation and the habit of looking for a concrete solution. It is especially useful for children who are learning to recognise tactical motifs and want to turn diagram practice into practical play.
