Why take this course?
Step into Kingscrusher's Chess Tactics Bootcamp - Volume 1, your comprehensive guide to honing the art of chess tactics. With hundreds of challenges designed to sharpen your tactical acumen, this bootcamp is an excellent tool to improve your chess game. It's your opportunity to turn theory into practice, and to apply the learned tactics to your own games under real-time pressure.
The course is structured in two sections: 'play to mate' and 'play to win.' While 'play to win' can involve gaining a piece advantage, it doesn't exclude checkmate strategies. The initial 100 challenges in each section are easier, building your confidence before the difficulty ramps up.
Adopt the 'No pain, no gain!' approach!
This bootcamp encourages a deep dive into your tactical abilities, pushing you to hone your visualization, calculation, and evaluation skills. Strive for accuracy and take the time you need for each exercise.
The beauty of this course is in its replayability. As you revisit challenges, aim for speedier solutions, but without sacrificing accuracy. Each exercise is an opportunity to glean valuable insights that can enhance your intuition and direction in your own chess games.
This course will help you develop core chess skills, including:
Visualization
Calculation
Evaluation
Remember, in real-life games with time pressure, maintaining a practical and ruthlessly winning perspective is crucial. Only when you sense a genuine opportunity should you spend extra time to find that winning combination. Get ready to unlock your tactical potential with Kingscrusher's Chess Tactics Bootcamp - Volume 1.

Introduction
Why this tactics training course?
Get absolute maximum from EACH And EVERY EXERCISE
Internal quality vs External quality perspective - train for internal quality
Woodpecker training method for this course
What is "spaced repetition"?
Why is this course structured by difficulty and objectives?
Skills: "visualisation" "calculation" "Evaluation" "Cynical winning perspective"
On the "play and mates" - push your visualisation to its limits like Beth Harmon
Look up the game references - can appreciate more context of position
Play and win may sometimes in fact be a forced mate - uncertainty of real games
Why I like congratulating you on these - don't be intimidated online etc
In real games a lot of the challenge is knowing if tactic is present
Magnus Carlsen's - evaluate final positions- max cynical of to win
Final position eval - at least opponent killer common squares vs you having them
Final position is like the contract you will have to live by after
Don't cooperate opponent - stretch resourcefulness and visualisation skills
Don't cooperate especially on mates - stretch visualisation
Enjoyment vs torture and Chess legal stuff
Create most difficult virtual opponents - push your visualisation harder
Play longer time controls to encourage greater accuracy
Subtle preparatory or quiet moves often missed in fast time controls
"No pain - No gain" (as long as no permanent damage!)
Kasparov once said he spent maximum clock time in his early games
What happens when you change move orders - why it can work?
Why sleepless nights analysing might improve visualisation
Be like Columbo - chase up and tie up loose ends - checks/ m in 1s
General Advice Epithany : Giving the Queen special superpowers!
General Advice Epithany: Really come hard on relative pinner pieces!
Checkmate challenges - a definite checkmate exists - first 100 relatively easier

The best Chess courses on Udemy come from KC. They are the best value for money and are so comprehensive. Fantastic presentation and great audio and visual quality. Professional in every way. He also knows what he’s talking about, after all he is The Kings Crusher

You course have helped me develop and grow my chess fundamentals tremendously! I am fairly new to chess, but I have gone from an ELO of 700-ish (on chess.com) a few months ago, to now being 1170. Of course, it’s the internal skills that really matter, but it’s a nice indicator of growth. This is my second course I bought from you, by the way, and I am really considering your pawn-structure course in the near future too! Anyway, thanks for your videos. You are a great teacher and a true chess inspiration!

Great course. I just completed A Complete Guide to Chess Tactics and was a little depressed it was over tbh! But then came across this massive tactics training volume. I was relieved. Highly recommend this course.

KC you are always at your best when philosophical. I love that you find heuristics. I find with my students I am trying to teach good thinking habits for chess players, this course does that splendidly.
