One doesn’t hear praise for Mr. de la Maza’s book these days. But I’m glad to learn you found it useful. As a low-rated beginner, I think his approach might be what I need.

The book has been met with a lit of criticism. I picked it up when I was in my mid 20s when the world was not nearly as connected as it is now. What I can say is it helped me a lot. I attribute a lot of my tactical growth from it. Cycling a lot of puzzles on some repetition is good for building common pattern recognition. Thanks for reading my post.
