Download [chessable]woodpecker Pgn

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone out there knows where I can get a PGN file of woodpecker tactics - There are a few studies created on Lichess but creators have the ability to download PGN or to clone study turned off I've sent a few messages but thus far no one got back to me - entirely up to themselves of course as I'm sure it was hard graft to get them all onto the study!

I am trying to get all my openings into one database, so I want to export the lines from my chessable course to my opening masterbase. But after contacting support I found out you can only export your own courses to prevent piracy. Is there a way around this I am not going to share this with anyone, this is only going to be for personal use

I am thinking of the following business model. I go to quality chess and I buy a licence to read woodpecker on one of the supported platforms (this is a fixed cost I pay once). However, to read the book on platform of my choice I would need to pay them a monthly/annual fee, if after a while the platform fails to keep up with other platforms I take it elsewhere and I pay them a monthly fee to consume my purchased license, or if I find the book to be terrible I shelf the licence and stop paying anyone to consume it. In this model even though I paid a fixed price I cannot consume unless I pay the reccuring fee to the platforms. I think of it more like buying an oracle database license and then taking it to AWS or Azure to use.

The Woodpecker Method was first described by GM Axel Smith in his breakthrough training book, Pump Up Your Rating. Despite a somewhat clickbait title, it is a serious training book of the highest order, which covers a wide variety of topics from preparation to tactics, to calculation and more. On the subject of tactics the author mentions the Woodpecker Method, named after the Swedish GM Tikkanen, whose name apparently translates as 'little woodpecker'.

Hello ChessMood family! My name's Ken, and I'm an adult improver. Perhaps one of the oldest I've seen here, a short couple of years away from 60! I've loved chess all my life, and have gone through many phases of obsession and study, only to hit a wall realizing chess is really hard, get frustrated, and then to step away from the game for some number of years. But I can't remain away for very long and always come back, regretting the time spent away.My classical rating's around 1400 on chess.com and 1700 on lichess. Once I had the goal to reach master level, but being realistic, my sights are set currently on expert (2000 USCF). I know with effortful study and dedication I can reach this goal. I have the good fortune to have a lot of free time to work on study and playing chess these days. The challenge is to partition this time in the most effective way to build my playing strength as efficiently as possible. But rating really is not important to me. What I *really* want is to be a strong player, comfortable in every phase of the game, able to play with confidence to the best of my ability under all circumstances.I know my main challenge is that I prefer to add knowledge as opposed to work on building skill. I have a large library of chess books, most unread. It's easy and enjoyable to add knowledge, but building skill takes sweat and effort and change, it takes real grit. On this latest return to study and play I really feel that I am completely dedicated to reaching my goal and that I am willing to do what it takes to build skill as my #1 task.My skill deficiencies are many (as my rating shows!), but the really big ones are: 1) unforced blunders (forgetting that I have an opponent who is also trying to win and can make moves!); and 2) time management (I play wayyyy toooo sloooowly, afraid to make tactical mistakes, and end up losing winning positions because I'm usually playing only on increment by the endgame).I enjoy blitz but it just reinforces my bad habit of not considering opponent replies, so for the moment I'm taking a break from it to concentrate of building the habit of considering strong opponent replies on every move of the game. I've joined the lichess 4545 league and am playing in ches.com Dan Heisman Learning Center club slow tournaments. These groups have strong players, and I'm already struggling. They prepare for their opponent's openings. I'm on a 5-game losing streak so far, and it's challenging to maintain the mood in that context. While I don't enjoy losses, they don't phase me all that much, I see them as lessons. However, if I played below my potential and lose because of something I already know (safety check all candidate moves, move in the required amount of time), as opposed to being outplayed, *that* really bothers me. I tend to lose the mood in games after a blunder, and find it hard to put up the most challenging defense afterwards.I enjoy studying Tibetan Buddhism, especially dream yoga, and my reading in this area has taught me the key importance of mind/mood/thoughts, and how this effects our life and our performance. I am a firm believer in \"right mood - right moves!\" But underlying that is the foundation of strong opening, tactical, strategic, and endgame pattern recognition, and I have a long, long way to go to build up these areas. My current focus is a \"woodpecker\" approach on a pool of simple, basic tactics, to instantly recognize them in games. I'm looking forwards to the tactics ninja and mating matador courses here, but am concerned about the lack of built-in spaced repetition ability on the site. How have others here managed to most effectively use those courses without that feature My openings story is highly schizophrenic. I'm having trouble deciding on repertoires. I've decided on 1.e4 and 1. e4 e5 for now, with emphasis on aggressive gambit play (Evans, Scotch gambit). I struggle against 1.d4. I'm looking forwards to incorporating the Chess Mood openings, and perhaps trying out the French Attack approach, but I prefer the open games, so am not so sure about that one.And finally I'm very interested in joining a community of serious but friendly chess enthusiasts, working with them and learning from them, and it looks like ChessMood is that place!On a different note, I'm a very experienced, life-long career software developer, so if ChessMood wants assistance in adding features to the site (like spaced repetition practice for courses!), feel free to contact me about those opportunities!

In a previous newsletter, I mentioned a new book project. Actually, I started on it last year, but now want to share the introduction from the first book in the series. You will also be able to download a free chapter from the first book at the bottom of the newsletter.

Many improving players are told to use either Yusupov's 9-book series or the Woodpecker Method by Axel Smith and Hans Tikkanen to improve their tactical skills. These books are however hard for most intermediate players. The idea behind the woodpecker method is quite interesting, which is to repeat the puzzles 7 times in cycles. The book however has 222 easy puzzles, before the level gets harder.The goal with this workbook series is to create training material that makes it possible to use spaced repetition cycles on a large number of puzzles on an even level.To do this I have used the Lichess puzzle database. It contains 2,132,989 chess puzzles that are rated and tagged. This has allowed me the opportunity to select puzzles of the same difficulty throughout this book. In this way, you should not experience that you run your head against the wall, but that you reach a good flow while solving.The Lichess data suggest that there is a good correlation between puzzle-solving abilities (as reflected by puzzle score) and chess-playing ability (as reflected by the rapid rating).

chessable and chesstempo versions would be useful as well. I have been going through the woodpecker method on chess tempo where I bought the book and it allows quite a lot of modalities , looping, spaced repetition, etc. to work through the puzzles, track progress, ...

Chess.com, along with its sister site chesskid.com, is probably the largest chess website in the world by userbase. While many of its diverse features are free to all users, only Diamond members ($99/yr, $14/mo) can watch videos. The videos consist of a 2D chessboard with voiceover, and they stream in your browser or inside a chess.com mobile app. A few of the videos come with pgns for future study, but none are available for individual purchase or download. 59ce067264
