    Woodpecker cycles

    A set of puzzles is fixed once and never changes. You solve the whole thing, then solve it again — aiming to finish in half the time. Usually seven cycles.

    On the first cycle you calculate, by the seventh you recognize the position at a glance. In spaced repetition the intervals grow; here they shrink.

    That is how many puzzles each cycle takes you through. Bigger means a longer cycle and a more visible speed-up.

    Pro

    Positions from your own games where the win was there and you did not see it. Seven cycles over what you personally miss at the board.
