It might be worth "spelling out" so to speak on a main blog entry as publicizing this great site would be a real service to chess players yet unaware of it.<br /><br />I do also have CT-ART, which doesn't emphasize speed, as you point out. <br /><br />Watch out world .... I just might gain a couple of hundred rating points in the next six months!<br /><br />Great blog, I plan to visit at least weekly.Bungerting Balonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16946750778371089176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313128767970412053.post-32063987417546443922006-09-13T11:04:00.000-07:002006-09-13T11:04:00.000-07:00CTS = Chess Tactics Server. It's a free tool that ...CTS = Chess Tactics Server. It's a free tool that serves up tactical problems that you try to solve within 10 seconds. According to Scientific American, strong chess players "see" tactics rather than calculate them. If you can't find a tactic in 10 seconds there's a good chance you'll miss it over the board. Some use both tools at the same time: CT-ART for calculation, and CTS for pattern recognition.<br /><br />http://chess.emrald.net/likesforestshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12363355892919115087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313128767970412053.post-57762573289333347342006-09-13T10:17:00.000-07:002006-09-13T10:17:00.000-07:00What is "CTS" ?
