These tactics puzzles are the worst; stockfish doesn't even recommend this, anyone would know not to take the bishop with the Queen. Chess.com needs to fix some of their puzzles

one after another TBS (like Chess, Go, Backgammon...) that is not Anime like FF: Tactics???

sorry for bad english!

I'm looking for a game where you do move one unit per round and not all your units per round like in almost every TBS.

I like Games like Fantasy General, Field of Glory, Battlesector, BloodBowl, Space Hulk but there you move your whole Army/ Team and when finished or fumbled a move like in BB your opponent does his moves.

In Games like Chess, Go, Backgammon etc. you move one unit and then the opponent moves one unit if you know what i want to say.

I've heard FF: Tactics is like that, but i'm not a Anime fan and also not a console gamer or anytthing like that. I very much prefer more realistic or darker settings and cannot immerse myself into anything too much comical or anime like.

Are there Games like that?

BB2 has a good compromise maybe with the fumble and turnover mechanic. I like that very much too, but idk if that is a patent owned by GW and for BB only.

Anyone knows a game for what i'm looking for a Chess or Backgammon like game - that means i'm ok it has some RNG element with dices like BB2 - in a history or dark fantasy or whatever setting as long as it is not Anime.

I also dont like WW1 or WW2 Setting, but that is a compromise i can think about.

thanks in advance

have fun - Stun o/

I just completed the woodpecker method! I did a 10 week 6 cycle method. In 30 days I did 352 tactics. Then proceeded to those 352 in 15 days, 8 days, 4days……. Saturday I did all 352 in 7 hours. Most brutal thing I’ve done in chess. I love this game!!!

I've created a python script that uses your Chess Tempo history to show your accuracy for each tactic type within a given timeframe.

I wrote this as a project to help myself, but I'm sharing it in case anyone finds it useful.

Chess tempo shows your accuracy for each tactic type, but it only shows it over your entire history of using the site. So, it might say you have 58% accuracy with discovered attacks, which is useful to know, but I want to know this information for, e.g., the last 24 or 48 hours, which would be a lot more useful for me to see what I'm currently struggling with.

This script takes your history file (downloadable from your stats page) and shows accuracy for different tactics types over the time period you specify.

Screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/pHMD0iZ.png

Github: https://github.com/sgriffin53/chesstempostats

See the github for instructions on how to run it. It doesn't require any external libraries and it should run on Windows and Linux (only tested on Windows).

Please let me know if you find this useful or if you have any feedback.

Tip for anyone who’d like to improve at chess: play longer games, you’ll be able to spend some time thinking, calculating and you can spot tactics then. I’ve put a picture of a recent game I played to show how playing longer games can improve your chess skills!

Chess Tactic Database

Hey all, is there a database floating around anywhere that has single board states which represent themes/tactics?

Here's an example: I want this board state in FEN/PGN: Fork.jpg and a corresponding label to the tactic displayed, in this case Fork. Just one board state, not a puzzle involving multiple moves leading up to/surrounding this state.

I checked out the Lichess puzzle database and because it involves multiple moves to describe a given theme it doesn't work too well for the classification problem I'm trying to solve. I really just want individual boards labeled with corresponding tactics. Anyone have any resources I can check out?

Edit: Added a better example

Chess book recommendations (e4 openings, middle game tactics, endgame tactics etc.)

Hi all! I wanna get my brother a book on chess this Christmas. Any recommendations would be super helpful as I'm not a big chess player myself but he said he'd be interested to learn more about e4 openings, middle game tactics, endgame tactics specifically, but anything else you think is a must-have book for chess players, please let me know, thanks!

is there anywhere a chess website or a chess book or some other form of resource where its possible to learn tactics but have a variety of defensive/offensive and positional moves be possible solutions?

basically im looking for a way to train to find the best move without knowing in which direction i should look. so for example in every chess tactic i have ever done i have always known the fact that there IS a tactic available and i just have to find it. but in a real game, i dont know that and sometimes a quiet positional move is in fact the best move.

any help is greatly appreciated.
