How it works

  1. 1

    Watch the moves

    They land as arrows, one by one.

  2. 2

    Hold the position

    It changes only in your head.

  3. 3

    Find the win

    From the visualized position.

What it trains

On other sites the pieces move as you go, so you can solve one move at a time.

Here the board stays put. You have to see the whole line, like in a game.

How does it fit with the rest?

It is step 3 of the Calculation process: play the line out without moving the pieces.

Does it work offline?
