Chess Tactics from Scratch by Martin Weteschnik is a structured training guide focused on building a deep understanding of chess tactics from fundamental principles.
The book teaches tactics not as isolated puzzles, but as patterns arising from core elements such as piece activity, king safety, weak squares, and forcing moves.
Weteschnik systematically explains key tactical motifs including pins, forks, skewers, discovered attacks, double attacks, and deflection, emphasizing how to recognize them in real positions.
A major focus is on developing calculation technique, showing how to analyze forcing variations step by step while avoiding common thinking errors and blind spots.
The book also introduces the idea of “tactical vision,” training players to constantly scan for candidate moves and hidden tactical resources during practical play.
Through progressive exercises and carefully explained examples, it builds a bridge from basic tactics to deeper positional calculation and pattern recognition.
A highly recommended resource for beginners to intermediate players aiming to develop strong tactical awareness, calculation discipline, and reliable board vision.
