Can You Solve 2000 FIDE Rated Opening Puzzles?
Test yourself on 6 puzzles from The Tactics Ladder.
I have now solved the first 100 puzzles of the Red Tactics Ladder book. A book for the 2000 FIDE rating level. I thought it would be fun to share some of the puzzles that left a mark on my memory with you.
The first chapter is about opening tactics, and they have been challenging for me, but still solvable. In some puzzles the idea is clear, but you can mess it all up on the second or third move. Therefore, more than one move is needed in all of them! I have annotated the solutions in a Lichess study that you can access below each puzzle.

ebook Gift 🎁 / next in the series?
The next chapter I’m going to solve is on crushing middlegame positions. I feel like the puzzles have a good difficulty for me, so I’m motivated to continue.
If you found the puzzles too hard check out the Blue books for the 1400 level.
I have also begun working on the Green volume(s) for the 1000 FIDE level. Hopefully, I can have it ready around the end of December.
🎁 On Saturday I will send out the pdf ebook of The Tactics Ladder (Red) as a gift to paid subscribers. If you want to receive it and support me sign up on the button below before Saturday.
