Welcome to ChessVis 1.4
Games are decided by tactics
The better your 'tactical vision' the more games you will win.
This is a two part problem:
- you need the ability to recognize that there might be a tactic in the position
- the vision to work the tactic to completion.
(This is most important if you are going to sacrifice material on the way to success.)
Please note: A "tactic" ends when you have either captured a piece or exchanged a piece for a high valued piece. Pawn captures aren't considered.
The webpages are as follows:
- Tactics Options - Set # of moves in the tactics sequence and for Back it up how many moves to back up. There is also the ability to filter the
tactics seen by how they have been rated by others. Please login and volunteer to try "unrated" problems so that the volume of rated problems will increase. If you check the box, you'll get unrated problems about 1/4 of the time.
- Tactics - Solve the tactics puzzle. The 1 move tactics are probably not interesting except in the "Back it up" approach.
- Back it Up - Tactics - Interesting twist on tactics puzzles.
The tactic is present but the board displayed is from some number of moves before the beginning of the tactics sequence.
This forces you to visualize the board before solving it.
- Mate Options - Set # of moves in the mate sequence and for Back it up how many moves to back up. There is also the ability to filter the
mates seen by how they have been rated by others. Please login and volunteer to try "unrated" problems so that the volume of rated problems will increase. If you check the box, you'll get unrated problems about 1/4 of the time.
- Mates - Solve the mate puzzle. Start simple with 1 move mates and work your way up in complexity.
- Back it Up - Mates - Interesting twist on mate puzzles.
The mate is present but the board displayed is from some number of moves before the beginning of the mate sequence.
This forces you to visualize the board before solving it.
- Defensive Tactics - Your opponent is about to either mate or win material. You must find the right move or moves that saves the day
