Level
Lead-in plies

Visualization shows a real game diagram: choose a 2, 4, 6, or 8-ply lead-in, play it in your head, find the mate in 3 without moving the board, then rebuild the final position on an empty board.

Technique

The engine defends accurately, so only correct technique works. In a mating drill, a stalemate, a repetition or the fifty-move rule is a miss. In a drawing drill, any draw counts. Completions show in Stats.

Concepts

Learn the ideas that win games. Each one has a lesson on the board and a position to practice.
