Nice blog. You should leave your older post comments on. It took me about 5 mins to see the Nf5 move on your April 4th, 2009 Tactic Of The Week.

What do you think of Polgar’s Chess 5334 Problems, Combinations, and Games?

I like http://chesstempo.com/chess-tactics.html also.

As an FYI, I also tried launching it from work using my windows machines and IE7. The same issue appears, so this is an issue across operating systems.

I’m interested in trying out your software and remember doing so probably a year or so ago, but it doesn’t appear to launch on the latest Mac OS X. I get the following error “Bad version number in .class file” regardless of whether I download and run the jar file via the shell script or whether I launch it through the Java Web Start. My system is fully up to date. Shoot me over an email and I’d be glad to help resolve the issue with regard to screenshots or whatever you need.

Thanks,
Chris

Hi,

following on to my previous question, I find that CVT works under Ubuntu 9.04 but not Debian 5.0. Some sort of java problem maybe.

Anyway, I have looked at the program and to be fair it is not really intended for what I want - teaching 9 year olds to play chess.

But I do like the game where you have to position the queen to take the rook.
It would be great if this had other pices for both black and white as well.
e.g position the white bishop to take the black knight on the next turn etc.

But even as I write that I can see that it wouldn’t work so well since a knight changes colour on each move. Also I guess the code would be much more complicated.

Do you know of any other programs with simple chess problems in?

Many thanks for creating and sharing this program.

Hi,

I have downloaded CVT and created a short cut which launches it and shows the initial splash screen.
However it then goes to a blank window with no way on interacting.
Can you explain what I should do or tell me where the documentation is?
(ps. I am running debian 5.0)

Many thanks

@deepoak

You can download the software by going to the project link or launching it directly with Java Web Start.
