After I finished Chess Tactics for Beginners, I spent a couple of weeks trying to decide which tactics problem set to tackle next. I tried Personal Chess Trainer, Chess Tactics for Intermediate Players, Chess Combinations Encyclopedia, and CT-Art.They were all good; I don't think any of them would have been the wrong choice. In the end, I chose CT-Art. I'm used to the interface, and the problems seem to start at the right level of difficulty -- the level 10 problems are easier than the hardest problems in Chess Tactics for Beginners.

Nice!
CT-Art has an amazing interface. The little 5x5 mini-board must have simply been a labor of love.
Does the table at the bottom mean you've been through level 10 four times?
That's right, I've been through level 10 four times. I've just started on level 10 + level 20 combined.
I like the 5x5 mini-board, the markers, and the black/white king-side/queen-side randomization.
I hope that seeing the same pattern in different configurations will lead to better recognition. I wonder...the brain seems to have routines for recognizing flipped and mirrored patterns: there's that short pause, and then it "clicks" into place. Perhaps by doing this, I can avoid the pause; perhaps it's not making a difference at all.
