    @Chessclublive 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    We created the first ever prototype of puzzle rush style tactics trainer. Yasser said that the inventor of puzzle rush had a thing about rooks. Well to create the Puzzle Rush database requires searching the chess.com tactics trainer database for number of moves to mate or win of material. The rook up exceeds significantly what normally would normally be considered winning material since the puzzle are already filtered so the side to play is the winning side in all cases. Winning a full piece is normally a good cut off point.
