At this place a new chess problem has been presented to you during each visit. The purpose of these chess diagrams was to improve your chess skills.
But there were two problems with these diagrams. First of all it takes a lot of bandwidth, because for each visit the site has to be changed. And secondly I didn’t add a difficulty level to the diagrams, which made it less usefull.
The initial purpose was to give a demonstration of the PGN plugin, but a lot of other examples can now be found on this site.
For the future I’m looking at a solution in which I can use normal PGN-files, for example with the DHTML chess viewer. As a kind of experiment you can try to solve the 1001 Brilliant Ways to Checkmate on a rather large chess board. If this turns out to be working fine I will probably use this to add more chess exercises in the future.
In addition nowadays a chess tactics server exists that has more exercises and the difficulty level is included. Therefor I decided that the best thing to do at this place is to point you to this chess tactics server.
If some of the exercises turn out to be rather difficult it may be a good idea to continue with the chess lessons and try them later.

Don’t be sorry. You are the first person that leaves a comment on this site.
And I understand the confusion, but the puzzles in this article are only meant as exercise material (and are changing all the time).
I am also adding more exercises, but this is rather invisible.

The chess fork exercises or the capture exercises are not so hard, but if some of the exercises turn out to be rather difficult it may be a good idea to continue with the chess lessons and try them later.

I’d be interested in your thoughts on the Adaptive Tactics Server, which serves up with greater frequency tactics at which the user may be weaker.

I tried to have a quick look at this server, but it turned out that I first had to register. Maybe I’ll have a look later, but I don’t like to register if the added value isn’t clear.
Maybe a guest or demo account or a kind of quick preview would convince more people to register.
