Woodpecker method

So basically "long" calculation type of puzzles rather than puzzle rush type of exercises right?

Yeah exactly

Although sometimes they can be simple ones just to do before a tourney to stay sharp. Like this one my coach made

#15 is one tricky puzzle

Huh I thought I had the answer for that but now I'm looking at it again I can't see the refutation to this line so maybe I was wrong

Rc6 queen Nd7 Ka7 Rc7 Ka8

It has to be Rc6 because it's the only thing that makes sense but I can't make it work lmao

What about Rc8 ka7 Ra8 kxn Rc8 ?

How do you feel about Chess Composition Studies?

Kb7 at the end and the rook is attacked while pawn is about to promote, no?

Edit: Wait no what am I saying. KxN then just Rb8 skewer. So in that line you gave Rc8 Kb7 and it stops everything.

I see.. Thanks...

Just Rc8 Kb7 and there's nothing

I'm just gonna assume there was a mistake with the puzzle composition to save me the embarrassment of not being able to solve one of the “simple” puzzles lmao

Rc3 is the answer. So Rc3, queen then Nd7+ if king goes b7 then Rb3+ queen takes and fork on c5. If king goes to a8 or a7 then Ra3+ and the king is forced to b7. From there it's the same tactic.

I couldn't solve it btw, had to get help from my ocean friend. And yea if these are the kind of "simple" puzzles you do then no wonder you're 2500 lol

No, I mean that puzzle was an odd one out though idk why he included it there lol

Try the other puzzles, they're easy

Yea 10, 11 and 12 are easy.

I had to think about 9, 13 and 14.

I love 16. And 15 I couldn't solve.

Nice.

Nevermind I suck. I tried 9 and 10 against stockfish and blundered the draw
