Feature request: tactics/strategy trainer

I'm surprised that HIARCS doesn't include at least a library of puzzles, so that would be a minimum request. But what I'd really like to see is some sort of intelligent trainer that would focus on tactics and strategy that, if diligently followed, would improve the user's game.

Thanks for listening,

Lloyd

There is a tactical puzzle set with HCE it is called Tactics.pgn and is installed in the Databases folder, open that database to begin.

There will be more puzzle features in a future major upgrade.

Whoa! I guess I hadn't looked closely enough at my installation to notice these. A great use of the "Hide next moves" feature. Also included is the venerable Win at Chess set, the epic Fischer-Spassky and Karpov-Kasparov matches, and a database of a thousand annotated games, some of which are themselves tactical problems.
