The Curriculum
One Theme At A Time. Twelve Months. Every Core Tactic.
Each month drills a single tactic until you see it before you’ve thought about it. They’re ordered deliberately, so the ideas build on each other as your skills grow.
-
- Forks. One move attacks two pieces at once. The simplest tactic, and the foundation of the rest.
- Pins. A piece can’t move without exposing something more valuable behind it.
- Trapped Pieces. Hunt down pieces with no safe escape, and avoid losing your own.
- Skewers. Force a valuable piece to move and win what’s behind it.
- Discovered Attacks. Move one piece to unleash a hidden attack from another.
- Deflection. Lure a key defender away from its job.
-
- Attraction. Drag a piece onto a square where it can be exploited.
- Advanced Pawns. Turn pawns deep in enemy territory into winning threats.
- Sacrifices. Give up material for a decisive gain.
- Clearance. Vacate a square or line so another piece can strike.
- Intermezzo. Spot the in-between move that changes everything.
- Exposed King. Punish kings that have lost their defenders.

Deliberate Training
Stop Grinding Random Puzzles. Train One Theme Until It’s Instinct.
Most players don’t lack chess knowledge. They lack pattern recognition under pressure.
-
The Random Puzzle Way
Lots of puzzles, little retention
A different idea every puzzle, no order, no plan. You solve a few, forget them, and still miss the tactic in your own game.
- Random themes, nothing repeats
- No structure
- Hesitation under pressure
- Hard to see progress
-
The Year System Way
One theme, daily repetition, rising difficulty
25 puzzles a day, one theme a month, getting harder as you go. The pattern burns in until you spot it instantly.
- One theme, repeated daily
- Difficulty built to match your growth
- Faster calculation
- Hesitation becomes instinct
How It Works
Your Year, Step By Step
-
Open the month
Each month is one theme. Start at Month 1 and work through, or jump to the tactic you need.
-
Do today’s 25
Use the app, the daily PDF or the PGNs. Whichever suits where you are.
-
Check and review
Use hints in the app, or the solutions tracker, to see why each move works.
-
Track and move on
Log what you’ve completed, and revisit the puzzles you keep missing. Day 30 finished? Next theme.
Built To Scale With You
Difficulty Rises Twice
Within Every Month
Each day’s puzzles climb in Elo from the day before. You start comfortable and finish stretched. They work whatever your current rating.
Across The Whole Year
The themes themselves get more advanced as your skills grow. Forks are simple. Intermezzo and Clearance take more skill. By the time you reach them, you’re ready.

Chess Tactics Mastery - FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be good at chess to use this?
No. It’s made for beginners and intermediates, but equally useful for advanced players. If you’re under 2000 Elo, it’s a great fit, and at 400-1600 it’s ideal.
What’s in the system?
13 monthly themes (12 core tactics plus a bonus Checkmates month), 25 puzzles a day, 9,750 puzzles in total. You get the interactive app, daily PDFs, a solutions tracker, a Notion tracker and PGNs.
Which tactics does it cover?
Forks, pins, trapped pieces, skewers, discovered attacks, deflection, attraction, advanced pawns, sacrifices, clearance, intermezzo and exposed king, plus a bonus month of checkmates.
How long does it take?
The system is built around a daily session of 25 puzzles for 30 days a month. Go at your own pace.
Do I have to follow the months in order?
The order is designed to build through the year, but every month works on its own. If you need pins next, start with pins.
How is this different from the single-theme monthly systems?
Those are one month each. This is all 13 months in one purchase, at a much lower price than buying them separately, and it includes the app for every month.
Will it improve my rating?
Your improvement depends on how much you practise. This is a training tool, not a promise of a rating gain. Players who follow it consistently build pattern recognition that carries into real games.
What level are the puzzles?
They climb in Elo within every month, and the themes get more advanced across the year. That works whatever your starting rating.
Do I need chess software?
No. The interactive app lets you solve puzzles with no software and no internet. The PGNs are there if you’d rather use Chess.com, Lichess or another app.
Can I use it on mobile, tablet or paper?
Yes. The PDFs work on any device or printed on paper. The app needs a computer with a modern web browser.
Is it a subscription?
No. Pay once and the files are yours.
I coach chess. Can I share it with my students?
That’s what the Coach Edition is for. It’s the same system, with the licensing right to share it with every student you teach.
How do I get my files after purchase?
You’ll get instant access to the download on the order confirmation screen. You’ll also get an email with your order details and a link you can use to download again at any time.
Do you offer refunds?
Since these are digital downloads, we don’t typically offer refunds, because you could download the file, ask for a refund and still keep the file. But if you have any issues or want help, contact us and we’ll make it right. You can email James personally at info@chesscheatsheets.com.
What payment methods do you accept?
Credit/debit cards, PayPal, and Apple Pay / Google Pay for a quick, secure checkout.
Do you offer discounts?
Yes. Check out our bundle deals to save when buying multiple products. They’re our best-value options.
I’m having trouble with my download. What should I do?
