forking hell (challenge)

#12

Very fun! I haven't noticed any left out forks. I do have a couple of things to notice, though.

  1. Different color for correct selection. It might be just my eyes, but I can barely see the green circle on brown back. Maybe a different color scheme (background)?
  2. The arrows should disappear after a short while, I think. They can be quite distracting if they stick around, so much so that I've double-clicked each answer to get rid of them.
  3. Speaking of double-clicking, if you click multiple times on the last correct selection, it skips through that many problems, and makes a mess out of the checklist on left.
  4. A timer before the game starts would be nice. Perhaps like the one on the Coordinates Trainer.
  5. The number of forks often goes over 40, depending on the last position/problem.
  6. Sometimes the problems repeat, sometimes even consecutively.

Generally, though, a very good trainer. I can see it being useful, especially in fast time controls.

High score: 5639

Don't know why I obsess over and am good at basic chess trainers but I managed to get 5898

Okay, what are this forks xD
Got 5402 on the first try, way to go!
Ok, now I understand it better and got 5986. But to get over 6400? How to do that?

In theory the maximum score per fork is 150 (if you can click more or less instantly) and if you are lucky you might get 5 extra forks at the end, so 45 * 150 = 6750.

But never mind the score I am impressed if you can keep the break mode going the whole run.

I wrote this demo to see if I could improve my chess - that is still an open question. Given the basic concept is there a way to make it a more effective learning system?

When you say "keep break mode the whole run", does that mean to have all the squares on the left yellow at the end?

@tailuge
I think I had a very similar position as seanysean did. It was a little bit confusing at first as I stopped considering pins in search for forks. Maybe they should still be considered?
Some people here are getting some really decent scores! I am still way to slow for that.
