Overall I have enjoyed this site and find solving the tactics keeps me sharp.  My 1 primary suggestion, which I am sure has mentioned.

The positions should be of a more practical nature where a critical point has been reached and a player only has 1 way to proceed.  Personally I dont care much for the positions where there is mate in 3 but I do it in 4 or 5.  A win is a win.  Many of the positions I see already have a monstrous materal advantage and almost any move wins.  Maybe there should be partial points given if a move chosen still gives a huge advantage or maintains a huge comp eval score, 3.00+.

Just my thoughts, overall very nice.

Hi slickmick,

Thanks for the suggestions.  I'm currently experimenting with a new generator which addresses the issues you raise.  Most of the work relates to positions with mates as the non-mate positions already have reasonable checking for alternative moves with large advantages.  Hopefully I'll have some problem set updates ready soon.

I'm glad you're enjoying the site.

Regards,
Richard.
