See How Much Your Tactical Powers Can Grow in the Next 50 Days

If you’re an intermediate player — rated below 1900 — then this challenge can raise your tactics up a class or two in the next 50 days. All while simplifying your path to improvement into 10x daily puzzles.

The 50-Day Tactics Challenge is brought to you by Grandmaster Valeriy Aveskulov and FIDE Master Sergey Tugaj.

Aveskulov is a peak-2545-rated grandmaster, a Ukrainian champion, and an online chess coach since 2009. He’s joined by Tugaj, who specializes in teaching scholastic players rated 1300 to 2100 Elo.

And in the 50-Day Tactics Challenge, the duo combines their expertise to…

Sharpen Your Tactics With Structured, Daily Sets And Lay The Foundation For Consistent Rating Gains

Here’s the plan:

Everyday for the next 50 days, solve a set of 10 puzzles, complete the reviews if there are any… and that’s it!

By setting a “hard” number, you won’t have to wonder how many positions to study or minutes to spend.

You simply solve puzzles until you reach that green congratulatory note — then get on with your day.

The puzzles came from the games of Garry Kasparov, Vishy Anand, Magnus Carlsen, and other legends. So rest assured they’ll push your pattern recognition and calculation skills to the next level.

But just as critical are the tags based on the 11 essential themes.

Found at the start of every puzzle, you can toggle these tags as hints to help you beat those hard tactics. So you can complete the day’s challenge.

With a little note-taking, you can also keep track of the puzzles you struggled solving. Find their underlying tactical themes. And bulletproof those “areas for improvement.”

And remember to dig into the move-by-move comments and videos. Here, Aveskulov and Tugaj show you how a strong player weighs in on a position to guide their calculation.

This way, you too can streamline your solving and find the right move… without wearing yourself down with brute force.
