Idea for Tactics Trainer

Maybe this has been suggested and shot down already but I think it would be cool for non premium members if you get all 5 problems correct you get to keep going until you lose.  I think it would be a good motivator to get non members hooked on the trainer and possibly take more time instead of rushing through.  I rarely get all 5 right if ever so this isnt just a scam for me to get more trainer just a way to motivate me.

It's not a terrible idea but if they did it, what hope would they have to sell a membership to Tactics Trainer fanatics like you?

You have done close to 4,000 of the Tactics puzzles here.

Isn't it worth 8 cents a day to get more? ($30/365)

notmtwain:  I have had a membership before, which accounts for most of my tactics attempts.  Just thought it would be a cool idea and might help people that have never had a membership to get a larger taste of the tactics trainer.  If I ever have a high paying job Ill get another one

I think it is a very good idea.
I doubt it will be implemented though - as notmtwain point out. 
But you could go to free tactics websites if you cannot afford to pay for the more tactics here, chesstempo is pretty good.

I don't mean to hijack your thread but I don't want to start a new TT thread for one comment.  When changing pages in TT can you guys change it so we don't start off looking at the bottom of the next page and have to scroll up.  Thanks.

Nice idea btw.  Maybe another perk is if you get all 5 puzzles in a row correct you won't have ad's for that day.  Anything to enourage fresh, new people is welcomed by me.  =)

Excellent incentive based idea; alternatively, in the settings section of the tactics trainer, click on "reset history."  You suddenly have a 1200 rating although you receive five free tactics, then just reset, 5 more tactics, reset 5 more, unlimited.Sealed
