This should be the first puzzle set anybody does. Before tactics definitely. It teaches checking the board for the 3 types of pieces. Not attacked pieces, attacked pieces insufficiently defended and attacked pieces sufficiently defended. Therefore it teaches counting basics. Chess king has me convinced that it's the best graded program. Other tactical puzzles are too difficult. What's the point of solving a difficult puzzle that takes 8 mins on chess tempo when I can't think due to time limit.

Quite good bunch of captures. Some of them are very easy, some of them make you think what opponent is threating to take to make your decision.
