Chess Puzzles
Last updated: Sep 18, 2025
My child’s interest in chess rekindled my interest in chess.
She has a lot to learn. We both have so much to learn.
Here I compiled puzzle themes on Lichess in the form of a study.
You can go directly to Lichess’ puzzle themes and play. Each theme has thousands if not tens of thousands of puzzles.
But for now I think it’s much better if we solve the same set of puzzles over and over again.

The Woodpecker Method
I found out that this is called the woodpecker method which is a training designed to sharpen tactical vision by solving same set of puzzles.
You can check out this very nice resource: ChessPecker, an online chess tactics trainer based on the Woodpecker Method.
In ChessPecker, you can create your own set of puzzles with different puzzle counts, average puzzle ratings, number of cycles, and puzzle themes.
There are 61 puzzle themes.
Although you can generate customized training sets based on your chosen parameters, the option to add a specific puzzle is not yet available.
If you want to create a set of puzzles with specific puzzles you like, like what I did in a Lichess study, maybe I’ll teach you how in a different post.
