Chess Pattern Recognition

Hello,

I am trying to improve my chess. I would like to be able to recognise some patterns. How should I go about learning a pattern and being able to recognise it in one of my games? Also, how often should I learn new patterns? Thank you

Get a tactics book and do 10-15 minutes of it a day. That will help your tactics

Do the tactics trainer on this site. Its quite hard work at times but I think it does help improve your sharpness tactically and recognise obvious tactical patterns.
