Here is a possible fun application that I created. This was suggested to me for improving board visualization and hence I created this app. Download the zip file from this link
http://www.harishsrinivasan.com/knightroute/knightroute.zip.
- Unzip the file
- Inside the folder, you will find an application named knightroute
- Start it up
- You are to answer 10 random questions on knight hops. for eg. d5 d1? , one of the correct answer is d5 e3 d1
- For fast answering, just type in the answer and hit enter and it will go to the next question...and so on
- When you are done with 10 questions, it will give you a score.
- Max score is 100 and is obtained if all 10 questions are answered within 7 seconds
- Beware, there is negative points for incorrect answer.
- If you take more than 20 seconds for every correct answer, then the score is 1 pt for each correct answer making it 10
- So for all correct answers, your score can range anywhere between 10 and 100
- Post your best score in the comments!!!
The app is very primitive. I am thinking of adding more capabilities for training in future. Any suggestions for improvements are most welcome.
