Drills Mode

In order to get better you must practice. Often! The Drills mode is meant to make this easier by giving you situations in which there is a tactical or strategic goal for you to figure out.

For now the only drills file available is "1001 Brilliant Checkmates", but I will be adding many different sets of drills as time goes on. If you have game situations in EPD or PGN format that you think would make a good set of drills send them in.

How drills work is simple; a clue is given, for example, "White to Move, Mate in 4". Simply do the next move of the sequence forcing mate in 4. If you do a legal move but it is not the correct move, the correct piece will be highlighted with a glowing rectangle. Drills will be sorted in order of difficulty, so the first ones will be fairly easy. Feedback on the drills would be appreciated, (too hard, too easy etc) and of course what kinds of drills you would like to see.
