Comments on Capturing Pieces 1 (Chess) for Android
★★★★★HIDEO MIT UNS· Mar 24, 2021
This should be the first puzzle set anybody does. Before tactics definitely. It teaches checking the board for the 3 types of pieces. Not attacked pieces, attacked pieces insufficiently defended and attacked pieces sufficiently defended. Therefore, it teaches counting basics. Chess king has me convinced that it's the best graded program. Other tactical puzzles are too difficult. What's the point of solving a difficult puzzle that takes 8 mins on chess tempo when I can't think due to time limit.
