Smith Axel, Tikkanen Hans. The Woodpecker Method
Quality Chess, 2018. — 392 p. — ISBN: 9781784830557.
The quick explanation of the Woodpecker Method is that you need to solve a large number of puzzles in a row; then solve the same puzzles again and again, only faster. It's not a lazy shortcut to success - hard work is required. But the reward can be re-programming your unconscious mind. Benefits include sharper tactical vision, fewer blunders, better play when in time trouble and improved intuition.
