## What is CCT Chess?

CCT Chess trains the habit behind tactical vision: before calculating, look for checks, captures, and threats.

Each puzzle breaks the board into three focused passes. Find every check, then every capture, then every threat. The app tracks what you found, records what you missed, and helps you build sharper board vision over time.

Features:
- Focused CCT puzzle flow for deliberate tactical training
- Separate progress for checks, captures, and threats
- Local rating that adapts puzzle difficulty as you improve
- Missed-move review after each puzzle
- Board themes, piece styles, and optional hidden move totals
- Offline play with a bundled puzzle database
- No accounts, ads, analytics, or tracking

CCT Chess is for players who want a simple daily training tool for seeing tactical candidates faster and more reliably.
