Extra
Workbook Step 1 extra
Extra exercises and repetition of all Step 1 themes, finishing with twelve pages of mixed exercises.
Themes
The extra workbook is full of exercises. The first 44 pages contain assignments with the same subjects as in the regular Step 1 workbook — not only useful as extra practice but also as repetition.
- Capture an unprotected piece
- Defending (moving away, protecting, capturing, interposing)
- Getting out of check
- Mate in one
- Creating mate
- Castling
- Profitable exchange
- Twofold attack
- Winning material: mix
- Defending: mix
Deepening
The last 12 pages are mixed tasks without a theme indication: the mix type. They look more like a real game. Solving exercises of this sort is difficult for those on Step 1.
For every task the student should go through the three questions on this list:
- Can I win material?
- Can I deliver mate?
- Is one of my pieces in danger?
More information
The exercises with multiple-choice questions about castling and stalemate speak for themselves.
The reminder and answers are not in the manual; they are available on this website (download).
