PDF excerpt Turbo-Charge your Tactics 2 - Accelerate and Win by Vladimir Grabinsky and Mykhaylo Oleksiyenko (hardcover)

This Turbo-Charge Your Tactics 2 - Accelerate and Win is an English-language hardcover chess tactics book by Vladimir Grabinsky and Mykhaylo Oleksiyenko. With 280 pages of focused material, it is designed for players who want to sharpen practical tactics and improve the way they analyse positions.

What the book covers

Turbo-Charge Your Tactics 2 builds on the first volume and draws its material from games by world champions and their challengers. The authors start from a simple idea: most chess games are decided by tactics, so regular solving is one of the most effective ways to improve.

Because the exercises come from top-level play, the book goes beyond random puzzles. It highlights the kinds of motifs that really appear in tournament games: attacks, combinations, taking advantage of an opponent’s mistake, and the critical moments when one accurate sequence changes the evaluation of the whole position.

Why this volume stands out

The book also includes a separate chapter on using chess engines. The authors point out that computers can analyse positions with great precision, but following engine moves without reflection can weaken your own understanding of the game. That makes this a useful addition for readers who want to use engines as a learning tool rather than a substitute for independent thinking.

If you are looking for more than a collection of puzzles, this book offers a practical way to work on tactical awareness and position analysis at the same time.
