Chess Tactics from Scratch - UCT, 2.ª edición, de Martin Weteschnik (tapa dura)

Chess Tactics from Scratch - UCT 2nd Edition by Martin Weteschnik is an English-language hardcover chess book on one of the most important parts of the game: tactics. This expanded and revised second edition goes beyond solving exercises and shows you how to recognise key tactical patterns and use them with purpose in your own games.

What this book covers

Martin Weteschnik wrote this book for players who want to understand tactics properly, not just work through diagram after diagram. Drawing on his experience as a club coach, he saw that even stronger players often have clear gaps in their tactical play. Simply solving lots of puzzles is not always enough, so this book brings the subject together from the ground up and helps you spot tactical ideas more accurately on the board.

The second edition has been reworked and expanded from the earlier version published as Understanding Chess Tactics. Alongside the explanations, you get more exercises to test your understanding and reinforce what you have learned.

Why choose it?

This is a strong choice for ambitious beginners, club players and tournament players who want to improve their practical results. It helps build the habit of recognising tactical patterns, which supports better calculation, quicker awareness of threats and more confidence when making decisions over the board.

If you are looking for a structured guide to tactics that also gives you material to practise with, Chess Tactics from Scratch is the kind of book you will want to return to after the first read.
