2012-11-30	Datr	The quality of the puzzles is far more important than the number of puzzles. I have been the first to attempt a lot of the new puzzles and they are very simple one move captures of hanging pieces, OK for beginners but not very good puzzles. Others have been very obscure, which will eventually have very high ratings because the tactic isn't obvious even having seen the solution. I like the extended solutions but some of the moves are questionable long before the last for half moves, the horizon is much closer in some positions.
2012-11-30	N4pll	To Purohitsa: type in http://chesstempo.com goto chess database Free opening library in the first 20 half moves.
2012-11-30	PUROHITSA	HOW TO IMPROVE OPENING
2012-11-30	N4pll	To be precise, CT has 54,500 problems and CTS has 36,900 problems. Please put in your FAQ about the computer are using like Houdini or Stockfish in which there is a HORIZON EFFECT in the last 4 half moves are not very reliable.
2012-11-30	N4pll	Currently you have 52,850 mating problems and 86787 tactics problems. You promise to have 211,400 tactics problems so that it is 80 percent tactics and 20 percent mates. I believe most of your errors have been figured out with your home page and the wall with the 139,000 problems grand total you have already. By the time you have 250,000 problems grand total you have exceded CT which has about 52,000 problems and CTS which has about 30,000 (?) problems.
2012-11-29	Datr	Zuril: I have moved to the Next Tactic before stats appears and noticed my grade hadn't increased so I now wait. However, it is the other two problem that are my main concern, namely that it sometimes skips to the Next Tactic without clicking on the button and my grade sometimes drops when the puzzle is Correct and its says (+2), for example. In User it shows I have got the puzzle Correct but a slight dip in my graph shows I have lost points. I will leave comments when these re-occur and hopefully we can determine what is causing it.
2012-11-29	Zuril	BrockOxon: may be due to the update applet. I need to investigate... In the practice session do you view the chessboard?
2012-11-29	Zuril	I've converted the solutions of the problems in algebraic short notation (with English piece letters) so they are easy to read.
2012-11-29	Zuril	Datr: I think it's a communication problem on internet or sever congested. I've restarted the server to free some resources. I've noticed this problem where I'm downloading some file from internet and the bandwith is occupied. Do you always wait the loading of the stats panel on the right of the page? That is the confirm that the server has get the result from the applet.
2012-11-28	BrockOxon	Since the last puzzle I solved, I've not been able to get it to display. I did not press "next puzzle" except that first time (to get the non-display) yet I seem to have gone down by over 20 rating points. Very frustrating.
2012-11-28	Datr	Zuril: Sometimes I get puzzles Correct and my Rating goes down, I think there is a bug somewhere. Also sometimes a puzzle gets Skipped without Clicking on Next Tactic, just hovering near it seems to activate it sometimes.
2012-11-27	Zuril	Historical date, today I've sell my first app on android market! :-D It's the ideatactics add free version https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cisana.ideatacticsnoads
2012-11-25	N4pll	Thank you Zuril for the new proportions. We already have Houdini and Stockfish. Maybe you could buy Chessbase opening library. If a move is not with Chessbase, then there can be a tactics problem along with it.
2012-11-22	Zuril	New proportions in assignment of tactics ELO problems: 20% checkmate, 80 tactics!
2012-11-15	N4pll	Now your highest tactical problem number is 81458. You have more problems than the other websites combined!!!! Point one: Make a preferences menu so that we have choices on your website. Point two: Make the tactical motifs. You could make priorities so that you can achieve maximum usefulness (and happiness) for your users.

2012-11-13	Zuril	I can not work to meet the needs of the individual user, all work had to be useful for the entire community.
2012-11-13	Abrowne	Is there a problem with exporting an SQL file? It would only take you about 30 seconds. If you are worried about security I'm sure seeing one or two fields would not matter. There is a large number of mate-in-1's I would like access to without having to redo problems.
2012-11-13	Datr	Typo:49854/78711 is about 40% should be 49854/128565 is about 40%.
2012-11-13	Datr	Np4ll: You need to study mathematics as well as chess, only joking!! 49854 mating problems. 78711 tactics problems. Add 128565 in total. 78711/128565 is about 60% and 49854/78711 is about 40%. So I would say Zuril is correct. 49854/78711=63.3%. So for every one tactics puzzle there is .633 mating puzzles.
2012-11-13	Zuril	Abrowne: No. I think anyway is useful to repass some problems.
2012-11-13	Abrowne	Yes, he answered my question about problems being remembered below. Do you have a PGN of all these games that I can use? If not, if you can give me a list of the numbers where mates 1-4 are located, I could use a script to visit those numbers directly. I just want to make it so that I don't revisit the same problem twice. (should be easy to make the list, just export it as an SQL file after doing the right query). Impressive numbers.
2012-11-13	N4pll	I see that there are 63.3 percent of the total are mate problems. I thought you said 40 percent of the total were mate problems previously. I did see once a mate in 7.
2012-11-12	Emuheahgnus	Thanks for the quick answer! Will the Mate in 5 and Mate in 6 problems ever be available in the Checkmate section? It would be awesome to have those problems in the checkmate section also, if possible and not troublesome. Keep up the excellent work, Zuril... this is a phenomenal site.
2012-11-12	Zuril	1) Mate in 5 and 6 moves are assigned only in Tactics ELO 2) No
2012-11-12	Emuheahgnus	1) Where do you find the Mate in 5 and Mate in 6 problems? When I click on "Checkmate", it only allows me to choose up to mate-in-4. 2) Does the computer/website keep track of which problems you have done?
2012-11-11	Zuril	Mate in 1: 11190 Mate in 2: 12446 Mate in 3: 10711 Mate in 4: 7495 Mate in 5: 4378 Mate in 6: 3568 ... Total: 49854
2012-11-11	Abrowne	Well obviously the total is the sum of the amounts (slaps face) ! :)
2012-11-11	Abrowne	Hi, could you answer my question (how many problems in each category)? Can I also get the total? Thanks.
2012-11-10	Zuril	Now I'm working on the software that find interesting tactical positions analyzing games.
2012-11-10	Datr	Having the Edit puzzle facility in Tactics ELO would be an improvement. If I make a mistake I have to go to Home View to edit it. It would be nice to edit it directly in Tactics ELO.
