Forks and Skewers
Hello,
I picked up Michael de la Maza’s “rapid chess improvement” at Barnes & Noble and was intrigued by the concept of tactical study. I read about the “ Concentric Square ” exercise and being a programmer I immediately thought; “I could make this into a program. I have done just that. My first idea was that I could sell the program to Michael, hoping he might include it with his book. I later decided that I didn’t need to make any money with this program and I’m willing to give it away for free. My program sits unused but a few friends that I’ve personally given it. I thought the “Knights Errant” group may like to check it out. It’s currently only for Windows, but that may change.
Just go to my website to download a zip file that contains the application and a help file. There is no installation required.

I did download the file, unzip it and virus scanned it (no virus found) and ran the program a bit. It looks great.
Thanks Mike!

That is freaking cool!!! Thanks for making it Mike, a great contribution. I haven't done these drills in years, since I was basically a beginner in chess, before doing the Circles. Now that I'm a bit more seasoned in chess, have done the Circles, I see more interesting general patterns using these simple exercises.
