Ct-Art Demo

Chess is the kind of sport that can never really be completely mastered, given the fact that there are so many possibilities and situations one can be confronted with. However, there are those who got pretty good at it, or at least good enough to be declared Grandmasters and have enough experience to beat everyone else in the world.

Ct-Art is not exactly a game, since you cannot play the actual game of chess using this application. Instead, the program contains a hefty amount of puzzles and tests that can put your mind to work, each one of which presents you with a particular situation. By moving the correct pieces around, you can either find or miss the solution, which instead rewards you with points.

Probably the biggest asset of the application is the fact that it accommodates practically every skill level, regardless if you are a beginner with chess, or you have vast experience in the field. Hence, you get to create a profile and specify your skill level, after which the application decides what kind of tests are best suited to your needs and particular knowledge.

After you manage to pass a few tests and learn a thing or two, it can be useful to see how far you’ve come. The game keeps track of your results and test times, which are then used to create detailed statistics about your progress and current skill level. Naturally, a lot of factors have an impact on this result, so do not be surprised if it’s less than you expect after you manage to complete a few dozen tests.

Speaking of which, there are practically hundreds of different puzzles, each one of which tackles a different kind of challenge. It was Maxim Blokh who came up with the entire thing, which should make you feel that much more comfortable, considering the fact that he is a world renowned Grandmaster and quite the good teacher, as it seems.

All things considered, Ct-Art may not be the most good-looking application on the market, or even the most intuitive, but once you manage to get a hang of it, the amount of stuff you can learn makes up for any inconveniences. Not only that, but the lessons can be of great help in your upcoming matches, because each puzzle represents a real situation you can be faced with.
