I'm a beginner with a puzzle rating just shy of 2300, working to improve my tactical skills. I've been using the Woodpecker Method, which I like as a method, but I find that many of the puzzles focus on small advantages rather than reinforcing core tactical motifs.
I own a physical copy of Tactics for Students (along with a few other tactics books). But I'm considering Chess Tactics from Scratch by Martin Weteschnik on Chessable (since I find the Chessable approach, either spaced repetition or cyclical a la Woodpecker to be quite nice.)
Would it be a better option, possibly as my main set for the Woodpecker Method? Or does Tactics for Students already provide sufficient coverage for my goals?
Thank you.
