Pocket CT-Art
Apologies to some of you who read my empty promise of reviewing Pocket Fritz 2 last year (particularly to the ClosetGrandmaster because he blogged about it). I never wrote the review because I rarely used Pocket Fritz 2 on my PDA. It certainly is a strong chess playing program - beating me 100% of the time. So it was no fun.
However Pocket CT-Art is a different story. The tactical puzzles were certainly challenging and sure beats solving puzzles on books. I get immediate feedback and can repeat all the ones I couldn’t solve previously.
You start of by choosing what category of chess tactics you want to try out.
Here is a typical position to solve:
Solution:
Qxg5, Qxg5,
Bxg5+, Kxg5,
h5! and White wins
Another exercise:
Of course the big advantage is that all of this can be done on PDA which is super portable. Slip it into your pocket and take it anywhere.
CT-Art is also available on the PC and I find that they are exactly the same in terms of features and functionality.
It’s the whole portability factor that really has me hooked.
