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
Every puzzle a different idea. You solve a few, forget them, and still miss the tactic when it appears in your own game.
- Random themes, nothing repeats
- No structure, no plan
- Hesitation under pressure
- Hard to see real improvement
-
The Deliberate Way
One theme, daily repetition, rising difficulty
25 puzzles a day on a single theme, getting harder as you improve. The pattern burns in until you see it before you’ve thought about it.
- One theme, repeated daily
- Difficulty that builds with you
- Faster calculation
- Hesitation becomes instinct
The 30-Day Structure
How The 30 Days Work
-
One theme
All 750 puzzles are for the Trapped Piece tactic, so the pattern repeats until you recognise it automatically.
-
25 puzzles a day
A manageable daily set of puzzles to be completed every day across 30 days.
-
Rising difficulty
Puzzles scale in Elo as the month goes on, so you start comfortable and finish stretched. They apply whatever your rating.
-
Track as you go
Use the Notion tracker or the app to log what you’ve done and where you’re slipping.

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.
How should I train with this?
Do the 25 puzzles for the day, check your answers in the solutions tracker, then log your progress. Work through the days in order, because the difficulty builds as you go.
What rating are the puzzles?
They scale in Elo over the month, getting harder from start to finish. That’s deliberate, and it works whatever your current rating.
How is this different from Puzzle Rush or Lichess puzzles?
Those are great for general tactics, but they mix every theme together. This drills one theme at a time, with a daily plan and rising difficulty, so the pattern becomes automatic.
What’s the difference between this and the 1-Year System?
This is one month, focused on a single theme. The 1-Year System covers a different theme every month.
What formats are included?
Daily PDFs, an interactive and printable solutions tracker, an interactive and printable workbook, PGNs (individually, per day and per month), a Notion tracker and the offline interactive app.
Do I need chess software?
No. The interactive app lets you solve puzzles with no chess software and no internet. 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, and the Notion tracker works on desktop and mobile.
Is this a subscription?
No. Pay once and the files are yours.
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?
