The principle is simple. The program presents you with selected positions and you must try to solve them.

 

 

In the two panes on the right you will find supplementary information as to the degree of difficulty and the results achieved so far.

 

All functions are accessed via the buttons on the top edge of the screen.

 

 

If you cannot make any progress, turn back to the help positions which the program offers. “Hint” or “Solution” especially are useful here.

 

In addition the app offers information in the form of text hints.

 

 

You can access a ranking list for the users of tactics training through “Ranking lists”. What are actually the criteria for the ranking list on the tactics server? Is there specific information about that?

 

You can look at the ranking list under http://rankings.chessbase.com/ . At the end of the page there is an entry “About Ranks”. Further information can be found there.
