Understanding Chess Tactics vs. Chess Tactics from Scratch

ArkKal

Hi Everyone!

I'm going to refresh and systematize my tactical skills and I consider buying Chess Tactics from Scratch by Martin Weteschnik. I know that 2nd version has two additional chapters and a lot of puzzles but is it worthwile to purchase this version instead of 1st version (Understanding Chess Tactics) which is much cheaper on the Polish market? Are the changes between versions such noticeable?

The author said that he added some chapters to the 2nd edition. I enjoyed it, one of the best books I read in 2023. That's how you write a beautiful and clear chess book - you don't need a chessboard and the examples are super instructive.
