## What is Tacticat?

Sharpen your chess with one tactic a day. Tacticat gives you a fresh chess puzzle every morning, an adaptive rating that always serves puzzles at your level, and a built-in Coach that explains the idea behind every move — so you stop guessing and start seeing the board like a stronger player.

Every position is a real, hand-verified tactic from the open Lichess puzzle database, bundled right in the app. No account, no sign-up and no Wi-Fi needed — just you, the board and the next winning move, wherever you are.

LEARN WITH COACH
- After every puzzle, the Coach names the tactical motif — fork, pin, skewer, discovered attack, back-rank mate and more — so you learn the pattern, not just the answer.
- Each puzzle comes with a plain-language explanation of why the move works, plus the full solution in standard chess notation.
- Recognise the same ideas again and again in your own games and convert them into real points.

PROGRESS AT YOUR OWN LEVEL
- Your personal tactics rating rises and falls as you solve, so puzzles are never too easy or too hard.
- Start gently and climb: five difficulty bands from beginner to expert, powered by thousands of rated positions.
- A clean stats screen shows your rating over time, accuracy, best streak and solves by level.

A PUZZLE EVERY DAY
- The Daily Puzzle sets one fresh tactic for everyone each day — solve it to keep your streak alive.
- Build a day streak, chase your best run and make chess training a habit that sticks.
- Miss a day and pick right back up — your rating, streak and history are always saved on the device.

TRAIN THE WAY YOU WANT
- Adaptive Training serves an endless stream of puzzles tuned to your rating.
- Or pick a level and drill a specific difficulty — beginner mates, middlegame tactics or expert combinations.
- Tap a piece to see its legal moves highlighted; a hint or the full solution is always one tap away.

MAKE THE BOARD YOURS
- Earn coins for every solve and unlock 10 elegant board styles — classic wood, emerald, ocean, marble, midnight, sakura and more.
- Chase dozens of achievements across solves, streaks, fast finishes and expert puzzles.

PERFECT FOR
- Beginners who want to learn chess tactics with a patient coach that explains each motif.
- Club players grinding daily puzzles to raise their tactical rating and stop blundering.
- Anyone who wants a quick, offline brain workout on the train, in a queue or over coffee.
- Returning players knocking the rust off after time away from the board.
- Chess fans who love a daily challenge and a streak worth protecting.

PRIVATE AND OFFLINE
- Every puzzle is bundled in the app — Tacticat works fully offline, with no sign-up and no personal data collected by us.
- Your rating, streak and stats stay on your device. No servers, no waiting, no distractions.

Whether you are learning your first fork or hunting mate-in-three combinations, Tacticat turns a few minutes a day into real chess improvement — no timer, no pressure, just the next winning move. Download Tacticat and solve your first puzzle today.

Puzzles from the Lichess open database (CC0).
