Learn what Tactical Radar trains, how each mode works, and why recognition before calculation matters.
Start Training for FreeA normal tactics trainer tells you, directly or indirectly, that a tactic exists. Tactical Radar removes that hint. You play through realistic game positions and decide whether the moment is tactical before attempting a solution. It trains recognition, judgment, and calculation together.
No. Some positions contain a genuine tactical opportunity and others do not. Learning to avoid false alarms is part of the training.
In a real game, nobody tells you when to stop and calculate. Players must recognize tactical warning signs for themselves. Tactical Radar isolates and trains that decision.
Tactical Radar is especially useful for players who can solve conventional puzzles but still miss tactics, or imagine tactics that are not there, during real games. Its practical position filters also allow users to choose training suited to their current level.
You play through a realistic game sequence, evaluate the position, and decide whether a tactic exists. If you call a tactic, you commit to a candidate move and attempt the continuation. If you decide there is no tactic, you continue through the game.
Nevermind lets you cancel a tactical call before you move a piece. Once a move has been committed, the decision counts and cannot be taken back.
No takebacks are allowed after a move is committed during the active decision and solution phases. This preserves the consequences of a real-game decision.
Tactical Radar distinguishes between correct detection, false positives, missed tactics, wrong continuations, and clean solves. These outcomes reveal whether the main issue is recognition, overcalling, or calculation.
The Daily Tactical Drill is a set of 10 positions designed to take about fifteen minutes. It can be used as a pregame mental warmup and supports daily streaks, weekly consistency, history, and achievements.
Training Ground is the main targeted-practice mode. You can select practical positions by difficulty, opening, player strength, player title, and other supported filters.
Tactical Sprint is a faster arcade-style mode. Players begin with three lives and can choose three-minute, five-minute, or untimed Survival sessions.
Master Games contains tactical moments drawn from high-quality over-the-board tournament games. You play through the lead-in and try to identify opportunities missed by strong and titled players.
Supported replay uploads can be used to revisit positions from your own games. Availability and supported formats should reflect the application's existing upload functionality.
The rating represents performance inside Tactical Radar's awareness-based training. It is not intended to replace a FIDE, US Chess, Chess.com, or Lichess rating.
Tactical Psychology analyzes your actual Tactical Radar decisions and produces a plain-language report about your tactical habits, strengths, weaknesses, and next training priorities.
It unlocks after 50 eligible drills and refreshes as additional eligible drills are completed.
Depending on the training mode, Tactical Radar can track false positives, missed tactics, wrong continuations, clean solves, confidence, decision time, streaks, rating, themes, and recurring blind spots.
Engine analysis is used where appropriate to validate positions, evaluate candidate moves, identify continuations, and explain tactical decisions. The purpose is to support the training experience, not to replace the user's judgment.
