Tactic Book

Hello all! 

I am looking for tactic book recommendations for an intermediate player. Have always enjoyed studying the strategical side of chess, but need to better understand the tactical side of things. This has been pointed out by a few people! 

So, what book(s) would you guys recommend working through to improve tactics? If it actually gives more info then just puzzles, all the better, but basically looking for a puzzle book. 

Thanks! 

Yea?? I've been told by a person or 2 that tactic books are a step better than online tactics.  Not sure exactly why... 

I also love chesstempo.com for online  

I am too lazy.

Need to work on my tactics too. According to an article here there are 38 of them. At least I want to know them by name. So I printed the first 6 positions with description on a flip card. The name of the tactic on the backside. Need to do the other 32...

Someone has already suggested the tactics from scratch book so I'll suggest the other book I consider worth reading

https://www.amazon.com/Tune-Your-Chess-Tactics-Antenna/dp/9056914049

Basically, it presents a way of formalizing how you think about tactics but it is not a puzzle book.

Thanks all! Will definitely look into those   

I can suggest both volumes of Predator on the chessboard. Good thing is you can check out the entirety of the books online . Loads of positions but the explanations are gold .

I can't be sure either, but it is probably because in a book you have a certain motif that you can easily found and check out. That is a good thing if you have a particular weakness. Online you just get random puzzles.

The way to go is probably combination of the two. You check out a book and then you practice online as well.

I heard good things about Woodpecker method by the way. You have easy, intermediate and hard exercises in there grouped in those 3 categories. The concept is that you should solve them again and again in less time each subsequent time.
