This Chess Tactics from Scratch - UCT 2nd Edition by Martin Weteschnik is an English-language paperback chess tactics book that teaches tactical motifs from the ground up and shows how to recognise them in practical play.
This expanded and revised second edition builds on the earlier Understanding Chess Tactics and includes more material and more exercises, so you can study the ideas and then test them on the board.
What this book covers
Martin Weteschnik wrote the book from the perspective of a club coach who saw that even stronger club players can still have clear gaps in tactical play. Rather than simply adding more puzzles, he created a structured guide that explains how tactics work and how to spot the basic patterns in practice.
Why this book is worth reading
That makes it a useful choice for players who want to organise their tactical knowledge and improve their awareness of hidden possibilities in a position. It is aimed at ambitious amateurs, club players and tournament players, as well as anyone who wants to become more effective in games rather than just solving diagram after diagram.
