If you haven't learned after doing around 200 of each, there's no point in our telling you.

It is that no matter how many chess mentor question you solve it wont get you anywhere as opposed to TT.

             Compared to college; TT is an individual test or quiz. Mentor is an entire course.  Compared to carpentry; TT is which TOOL to use. Mentor is how much material you'll need to build an entire house.  Compared to driving; TT is how to get to destination B.  Mentor is the whole highway infrastruture, to get anyplace.

Chess Mentor covers all phases of the game.  Tactics Trainer deals with tactics.

Avatar of GM_Phrostbyte

Doesn't chess mentor also dealwith tatics? 

Avatar of GM_Phrostbyte

Acually sorry, I don't know what tatics are compared o the rest of the game.

Because tatics are a strategy and strategy is part of the game.

A GM must know all of his opening theory  , 2 ke2 is standard . The centipede is on the road to being a GM  . How does this answer your question ? answer this one .

Avatar of Equiv

He obviously knows the answer to the question so it should not be taken seriously .

No problemo.  Chess mentor covers openings, middlegame, endgame, tactics, strategy, etc.  You get a little bit of everything in chess mentor.  Whereas tactics trainer just deals with tactics ie: Forks, pins, skewers, 1-2-3 move mates, combinations, etc.
