That is a good description, though. It feels like cheating, as I don't have to look around at all, except at the piece, the square I want to move it to, and bam. It is incredibly fast, effortless, thought-free problem solving. So far I've learned about 1000 problems to this level, with about 300 to go before I'm done. <BR/><BR/>I am very curious about whether I will be able to generalize, i.e., see similar but somewhat different patterns quickly. My hunch is that I will, but it depends on how close the new pattern is to the one stored in memory.Blue Devil Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12045468316613818510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750536827967402019.post-18800667774611037292007-07-19T22:03:00.000-07:002007-07-19T22:03:00.000-07:00I am curious to hear from some other people who ha...I am curious to hear from some other people who have completed all of the CT-Art problems. I definitely think that if one can see the tactical lines in every problem in the set quickly and confidently that one has achieved a certain tactical mastery.<BR/><BR/>However, many of the problem solutions given by the software are unsatisfactory to me. They more than occasionally miss better continuations or secondary winning moves by the winning side and leave out the toughest defense of the defending side. My latest post gives a few examples of this. There are several more examples scattered through my blog. Though I'd estimate I've posted well under half the issues I've come across.<BR/><BR/>Do you have any comments on the quality of the problem set?Loomishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18256742331773514858noreply@blogger.com
