What our customer's say!

"Doesn't work with Vista", This may be a great program, but it doesn't work with Vista and no where does AMZN or the product, say so. For me, its a total waste of money. My kids chess club tutor recommended however and thus I give it 3 stars anyway.

"Excellent beginners chess program.", Very well done chess tactics training program by Convekta. Graphics and interface are good, not great. The course material, however, is excellent. This, in conjunction with Convekta's "Advanced Chess School," is a good start for entry level players seeking to raise their chess knowledge and skill level before moving on to Convekta's vaunted "CT-ART 3.0.

"An invaluable tool to improve", I bought chess tactics for beginners, since my coach recommended. For a few months a sporadically did 5 or 6 puzzles, but never paid much attention to it. A few months ago, I was tired of being stuck at 1100, and systematically did 50 puzzles a day on this, in addition to studying books. (There are approximately 1300 puzzles, so I have repeated the puzzles 3 times so far and plan to repeat it twice more). My tactical vision has sharpened considerably. My rating jumped 100 points (this could be because of the books), and many patterns have been molded into my head from this software. It shows a graph of your tactical elo, useful in figuring out if you are improving or not. Also, it gives hints that help you but are never to revealing. Finally, the order of puzzles makes it so a particular pattern is chiseled into your mind, and even when you think you've got it, it give you more so you the patterns are completely burned in your brain.


Highly Recommended!!!

"A useful tool to improve", I bought this several months. As far as teaching goes, this doesn't teach you much. But, it has many, many useful tactical puzzles for each tactics such as pin, skewer ect. Also, it includes mates and stalemates. Another neat feature about this is that when you install it, you don't have to put the CD in everytime.This is a useful product, and I highly recommend it.
