About the application:

A strategy is a sequence of moves that limits the opponent's options and may effect in tangible gain. Strategies are usually contrasted with tactic, in which advantages take longer to be realized, and the enemy is less constrained in responding. With this application you can solve thousands of chess strategy puzzles grouped by theme (Zugzwang, Quiet move, Zwischenzug, Defense, Hanging piece, Trapped piece). Zugzwang is a situation found in chess wherein one user is place at a disadvantage because of their obligation to create a move; a user is said to be "in zugzwang" when any legal move will worsen their position. Quiet move is a move that does neither create a check or capture, nor an immediate threat to capture, but does prepare a more hidden unavoidable threat for a later move. Zwischenzug is a chess strategy in which a user, instead of playing the expected move (commonly a recapture), first interposes other move posing an immediate threat that the enemy must reply, and only then plays the expected move. Defense: to play defense, or to defend versus an opponent's threat. Hanging piece is an attacked piece not defended by own man exposed to capture. Trapped piece is a piece that finds itself with either no moves at all or at least no moves that avoid the loss of material.
