In a previous newsletter, I mentioned that I have started on a new book project. I now want to share the introduction from the first book in the series. You will also be able to download a free chapter from the first book in the bottom of the newsletter.
chessable and chesstempo versions would be useful as well. I have been going through the woodpecker method on chess tempo where I bought the book and it allows quite a lot of modalities , looping, spaced repetition, etc. to work through the puzzles, track progress, ...
I have talked to Chessable about it. They would like me to annotate all the solutions, which seems logical. However, it will take me a very long time to annotate soo many puzzles, so it is an idea on the drawing board, but it might have to wait for a while..
Indeed, it is extra work, but your effort will be available to the wider chess community. I have bought your book from amazon and enjoying it. I don't mind working with paper or electronic books. Nowadays, the younger chess fans consider "chessable" like ebooks only.
I'm happy to hear that! I agree about that. I also like the features on Chessable, so I could see it working out. I would however like to publish the whole series first, before I start on another big project ;)
Do you think it will be available for purchase in Norwegian book stores?
I actually think it’s possible https://www.sjakkbutikken.no/produkter/the-tactics-ladder-volume-1/
Thanks! Seems like it's sold out at the moment so I'll have to be patient
Fascinating. I'm certainly looking forward to the beginner-level books!

Actually forgot chesstempo sells books! Might look into it :) Chessable wants annotations for all solutions, which will take time when the whole series is complete with 16000 puzzles 🧩
Are you planning to provide the book in chessable format?

Very interesting, but it is a bit different to play both sides, unlike an online puzzle where you move against the computer.
That is actually a good point! It should make one less likely to guess, I hope. I will add your point to the introduction.
Very interesting project; I will check it out!
Thanks! Working hard to finish the first two books
