How it works

  1. 1

    Read the board

    A position from a real game.

  2. 2

    Mark the targets

    Every piece you can take, defended or not.

  3. 3

    Check your marks

    Clean means all found, nothing extra.

What it trains

A missed capture is the most common blunder there is, on both sides of the board.

Targets trains you to see every one, fast, before you think about anything else.
