Tips for taking a course
- Do not skip the exercises. Try each one before you press hint.
- A mistake in a lesson goes into the course review queue and returns later.
- Take one lesson, then one puzzle set on the same theme.
Tip: the course rating is a training measure. Your real progress is in your games.
