try this for tactics chesstactics.org
ONE link that shows a beginner the "aha!" tactics of chess.
That's too "textbooky". I need something that is animated and interactive and just shows the tactics. I also prefer something that is one page, not requiring navigating through many pages.
I just need a single one shot "WOW" type of impact to show, THIS IS REAL CHESS. But, it's got to be quick and immediate.
Say you have a rank beginnner who knows how the pieces move. They basically know how to bank rank mate.
No strategy yet. They don't know how to count number of attackers/defenders on a given piece. They don't know fork, skewer, discovered attack, sacrifice, etc.
Is there a SINGLE link that can demonstate this entire world of chess to them? Something with animated boards so they can get that "aha!" moment that chess is a lot more complex than they think, but in a fun obvious way? NOT a book. This should be done in 10 mins. or less.
