I built this because I wanted something that would get me to train every day and keep me honest about it. Left to myself I'd do a few puzzles and some blitz games and call it training. The endgames I swore I knew, the games I lost and never looked at again, the half hour of real thinking I kept promising myself, none of it happened. What I needed was something that noticed. So I built this that deals all of the kinds of training I found most valuable * Tactics: the bread and butter * Endgames: Theoretical endgames as well as endgames from master games and pulled from your lichess games * Converting: Convert the position after a winning tactic, and convert positions from your games that you failed to win * Master Games: Play master games tuned specifically to your openings. * Thinking Process: Actually lay out your candidates and calculate them one by one * Chess Knowledge: Some fun chess history thrown in every once in a while And how do you keep yourself engaged? THE STREAK Keep up your daily streak and you get to unlock more and more pieces in the sets. I made the Metorite King a 10 year endeavor, let's hope I make it one day. Want to race?
