What does CT Art have going for it, that the tactical positions sorted by openings so that you can study ones that appear in the openings you play, that are found on www.wtharvey.com doesn't have? Thanks, Ken

I have no judgement about that site. Tactical exercises are always good. CT Art doesn't consider openings, but tactical themes, which is the correct way to approach a tactics study. It doesn't matter in what opening you'll find a tactical theme; you don't have to recognize the opening, but the tactical situation evolving. Properly recognizing the tactical theme will give you the possible kill, not that it might occur in the Polish Dickerdack Variation of the Sicilian Gambit with 37...Nh5! -- CeeBee *** The Cookie Has Spoken ***

Oh, come on. In this modern age of `Informator' and internet databases, everyone knows that 29.Na8!! refutes the whole Polish Dickerback variation. Nobody plays that stuff any more.

Now it makes sense why my opponent looked up in surprise to me the other day! But I had him with the standard 52.Ra1+ transposition when it came to the Kenian Declined anyway, so it seems I was saved by the bell. -- CeeBee *** The Cookie Has Spoken ***

Everyone knows that David Richerby, using advanced algorithims derived from a deep study of information theory, analysed that line to be a dead draw after move 69. He's truly a child of Blechly Park.
