Chess Puzzles Practice and Thinking Process With a Grandmaster

Doing puzzles helps sharpen chess players' tactical intuition. In other words, it helps to recognize more patterns and do so faster. This is incredibly important because the kids will be able to not only see when you have tactical opportunities in any given position but also prime the pieces for such opportunities.
