Tag puzzles by motif, spaced repetition and end-game problems #6

Hey there,

I was wondering if this project could be a way to improve on the lichess' tactics puzzles and be a FLOSS alternative to chesstempo. For that, it would be great if each puzzle could be tagged by a given motiff and if one could turn on/off spaced repetition, for better memorization.

I would suggest leaving the tagging of the puzzles to the community. Essentially, let the users tag the puzzles (mate, pin, etc).

It would be cool if one could do end-game training as well.

Is this in the scope of this project?

Hi, thanks for the suggestions. Here's a short list of endgame positions where you can train vs stockfish if this is what you meant: https://blitztactics.com/positions

Otherwise I was planning on creating a section soon for themed puzzles that are easy to automatically classify from the lichess puzzle data (endgames, mate in X). Tagging would be great once themed puzzles exist, but I think the site would need a lot more traffic first before a community would care to help out with that.

Spaced repetition has been on my todo list a bit further down. Mainly because I think of it as an improvement over the endless puzzle mode and I've been prioritizing different game mode ideas and features like high scores.

Just to mention here Lichess has now Puzzle themes. Themes & tags would be a nice welcome feature for BlitzTactics :)
