The Woodpecker Method 2, de Axel Smith (tapa dura)

The Woodpecker Method 2 by Axel Smith is a hardcover English-language chess book for players who want to improve positional understanding and make better decisions at the board. As a continuation of The Woodpecker Method, it keeps the same repeat-training approach but shifts the focus to positional work.

The Woodpecker Method is based on solving a large number of positions over several weeks, then returning to the same material again and again, each time faster. The aim is to reinforce the right patterns so that practical decisions become more accurate under time pressure.

What’s inside

This volume contains 1,000 positional exercises with solutions, along with detailed guidance on how to work through the material effectively. It is a structured training book rather than a random collection of diagrams, and it is designed to improve positional judgement, planning and move selection.

This is a strong choice for self-study, coach-led training and ambitious players who already have some tactical training experience and want to deepen their positional play.
