TacBase - Tactics Training Software for the Serious Chess Player
Chess grandmaster Varuzhan Akobian teamed up with technology to produce one of the most complete and balanced chess tactics programs available today. TacBase features a jaw-dropping 750 tactics puzzles in its database. The puzzles range from mild to extremely wild, providing a challenge to every level chess player.
Right out of the box, TacBase is ready to be your training companion. When the disk is inserted, the program fires up and you are given a list of choices. TacBase comes with the ever-popular Winboard chess interface, so you can begin solving tactics problems immediately with the software provided.
Although TacBase works well with Winboard, it is compatible with any chess interface that has the ability to view .pgn files. I personally use my Fritz 10 to scroll through the tactics problems, and it works flawlessly. TacBase can also be viewed with Arena, Chesspartner, Chess Assistant - almost any chess program.
The TacBase software also comes with Crafty 19.3, which is a very powerful chess-playing program, and can be utilized to analyze the tactics puzzles. The engine can also be used to analyze your own games, or any other game loaded into the interface.
Take your time with each chess puzzle, and really try and find the answer. After you have gone through a few tactics problems, you will probably find it gets easier to hone in on where the action is, and your tactical eye will get sharper. This is a surefire way to improve your strength and chess rating. Ask any grandmaster, and they will likely tell you that chess is 99% tactics.
Purchase a copy of TacBase today, and get on the path to chess improvement. I'll bet dollars to donuts that after just one-hundred of these challenging tactics problems, you will see the chess board differently. If you play online, you will watch your rating soar up two-hundred points or more. It really is the best bang for your chess-buck.
