Good Books for Pattern Recognition?

any good books that you would reccomend?

I assume fundamental checkmates?

I was thinking the whole set. But, far and away the best books on checkmate patterns are Renaud and Kahn, The Art of the Checkmate and Henkin, 1000 Checkmate Combinations.

Gude is pretty good, though.

that's what I thought at first but then there were some books like " how to beat your dad at chess"

That one’s okay. Most on the shelf are better, but I often tell children they might like it. It has lots of diagrams, minimal variations, and is quite superficial.

Renaud and Kahn differs in approach from Henkin. To an extent, Gude combines both approaches.

woodpecker method lol

even tho i think u said u did it

Good Chess Books for Beginners and Beyond...

search checkm (sic)

Recommends the same books I do: Renaud and Kahn; Henkin; Gude; and also Gilllam, which I did not mention. A school where I coach has a copy of Gillam, I've looked at it there and concur that it is good.

Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess - Fischer
Chess: 5334 Problems, Combinations and Games - Polgar

Bobby Fischer is not the author of Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess. What you get from that boom, you’ll get in triplicate from the first chapter of Henkin, 1000 Checkmate Combinations.

The Polgar brick is a good resource.

just do tactics puzzles lmao
