 Blitz Attack -- tatctic that I ran out of time on |
|
Ok, I just played another round and my "Theoretically" line above is wrong, there is no way to get at the time out tactic. The current tactic in Blitz Attack is not displayed anywhere. In regular Chess Tactics the tactic number is in the window title for each one, in blitz it is not and the window bar title is not changed during the 5 min. (I hope none of this stuff is browser specific).
I still want to get at that last tactic to make sure I solve it.

Have you...
... clicked on the little icons of the 'failed' tactics column? I always go over the ones I've missed, clicking on each in turn. You'd be surprised how often one solves in 5 seconds or less some tactic that had one stumped during the session!

"I always go over the ones I've missed"
So do I. Often playing quickly I miss a subtlety and give a wrong check, especially on the lower rated tactics. But the last puzzle you do not solve when you run out of time (not fail 3 times) is not one of the failed icons -- you didn't fail it after all. What I am asking for is an icon of a different colour perhaps, for the last tactic when you run out of time but did not miss 3 of them.

Yes...
... Fair point. A bit frustrating, I agree, but I pretty much figure the position will turn up in some later session anyhow, so I don't worry overmuch about it. You'd be surprised how often certain motifs seem to repeat. I don't know how many times I've solved Legal's Mate in the last couple of years - must be twenty at least...
