Question about the Tactics trainer.  How do you know what the obkect of the situation is?  I mean sometimes I have had to get mate, sometimes just capture a piece.  Kind of hard to NOT fail when I do not know exactl what my goal is.  I am getting better at them so i guess I am supposed to just find the best move(s) available?

Yup. If it told you the objective, it would be much easier. It's always just find the best move.

Yeah, you have to find the best move.  Think of it, are you going to have someone telling you what the objective is during a game?

Ok makes sense.  THX!

just try to see the best move in any given position, good luck
