CT-ART 4.0 (Chess Tactics)

The legendary chess tactics course is now available on Android, designed for players with an ELO rating of 1200-2400! Voted multiple times by chess experts as the best chess training program in the world, this version includes 2,200 basic exercises and 1,800 auxiliary exercises, divided into 50 topics. The course is based on the bestselling book "Combination Motifs" by renowned trainer and grandmaster Maxim Blokh. All positions have been hand-picked over 20 years of training practice and are presented in an order that ensures the most efficient learning. Each position comes with a special hint unique to this course—a 5x5 mini-position designed to convey the very essence of the tactical maneuver used in the main example.

This course is part of the Chess King Learn series (https://learn.chessking.com/), which offers an unprecedented chess teaching method. The series includes courses on tactics, strategy, openings, middlegame, and endgame, split by levels from beginners to experienced players, and even professionals. With the help of this course, you can improve your chess knowledge, learn new tactical tricks and combinations, and consolidate the acquired knowledge into practice. The program acts as a coach who gives tasks to solve and helps to solve them if you get stuck. It will provide hints, explanations, and show you even striking refutations of the mistakes you might make.

Advantages of the program include high-quality examples, all double-checked for correctness. You need to enter all key moves required by the teacher, and the program offers different levels of complexity for the tasks with various goals that need to be reached in the problems. If an error is made, the program gives hints, and for typical mistaken moves, the refutation is shown. You can play out any position of the tasks against the computer, and the program features a structured table of contents. It also monitors the change in the ELO rating of the player during the learning process, includes a test mode with flexible settings, and offers the possibility to bookmark favorite exercises.

The application is adapted to the bigger screen of a tablet and does not require an internet connection.
