The Course Woodpecker

Hi forum people!

I am hunting for the course described in the Pros section Item #2 "Great organization: the course is set-up in 5 parts"  Review here: https://www.chess.com/blog/SheldonOfOsaka/the-woodpecker-method-a-review

It says it is from ChessDotCom but I went through puzzles and I find no such course.  I've searched forums for hours ... and there are topics going back to 2014 about Woodpecker but so far it all pertains to books.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

I know Chess.com has done this course because of this reference and surely, since it would be so similar to puzzles, it must already exist as a type of course puzzle, no?  Am I blind?  Well, yes ... but am I blind?  

I use the site chesspeckerdotcom.

I'm on it, Mike! Thank you!

Free to join. Easy to setup. You can set your rating range. I'm currently doing 1000 over 6 weeks.

WHOA! Well I'm in and reviewing now. Rockin' cool!

Per my chess coach. You want to choose a rating range that will give you around a 70-75% pass rate. Pick a rating and do around 25-50 and see what your percentage is. Adjust accordingly until you're in that 70-75% pass rate.

I've completed a tactics on BLOCKING and I only got 25% right. I have a long way to go but it is a labor of love for sure! Your suggestion has been noted. Thanks, Mike!

EDITED: This was on ChessTempo though.

Choose whatever site works best for you.

All of them. :-) Every chess site, article, video ... all of them. :-)

ADDED: I don't think ChessTempo has this type of rapid repeat application, if I understand the process (and I'm sure I don't). But, as you say, I'm trying them all on. It is the specific technique used by the Masters that I want to repeat so ChessPecker it is then for this Goal item!

ADDED: And I'll be on Lichess for tactics training as well.

Chesspecker tracks each and every cycle. I'm doing 1000 over 6 weeks. That works out to 25 tactics a day. I had always heard about the woodpecker method but never took chess seriously enough to try it. It's going to be interesting when I get to cycle 2 and it's do 1000 in 3 weeks, and then 10 days and then 5 days, etc.

Oh! That just sent my heartrate through the roof! I can do this!

This looks good

For chesspecker, what would be my rating then, if I may ask? I almost posted a forum question but this is precisely WHY I even care about ratings so here seems the best place. I'm 1000 Daily and mid 600 for Rapid.

I like to pretend I'm a 1000 to feel better about myself but that doesn't make a difference in the real world and doesn't help me answer question of my rating.

Thxz everyone for your contribution to this thread.

AS I posted earlier. You need to pick a rating range and play through some tactics until you are getting a 70-75% pass rate. I did 25 at 1600 and had a pass rate of something like 80+%. So I sent to 1700 and did 25 more and was still at a pass rate of something like 80%. So I went to 1800, did 25 and got a pass rate of 75% which is right in the sweet spot.

Remove ego from the equation. Remove what you "think" you are. Find a rating range that will land you at 70-75% pass rate. If youre more concerned about ego, then just stay here and post how many brilliant moves you got. You wont improve, but you be "happy".

Gotta love it! Nope, I don't care about Brilliants. I appreciate the clarification! :-)
