I would like your thoughts on the new tactics server called Adaptive tactics server.

It can be found here

http://www.snufflenose.com/ats/

or maybe straight at

http://www.snufflenose.com/

quote: ''The Adaptive Tactics Server learns from the results of positions it presents you with. From your successes and failures against those positions, it gathers statistics that allow it to serve more problems (again statistically speaking) in categories you are weakest in.''



The server registers the kind of positions or tactics that give you the most trouble and chooses the puzzles it presents to you accordingly. It adapts your training based on your weaknesses. The server is rather new and I think there are only about 1550 problems for the moment. I didn't try it extensively yet so I can't give an opinion, but I think the concept is great!

What do you guys think?

I could be wrong, but maybe a name change?

hehe yes I agree! but after looking past that it seems like a promissing site. The weakness system is super detailed, only problem yet is that I find the puzzles too easy at the moment and my rating is overly high.

What I dislike the most is the solutions! Sometimes Rd1+ is the solution and I play Rd2+ which does the same thing, but they say it's wrong.

Hasn't happened to me yet! Sometimes you have to re-check your answer with an engine to see the refutation or better continuation.
If the problem really has some issue, leave a note, it's quite common in all new tactics servers, and they count on the comments to fix em!

its a great concept though, so expect to hear more of it (maybe even on your regular tactic server)
