  <p>The paid version, on the other hand, offers the possibility to build training sets based on quality, difficulty and theme.

Answers.Text: To me, chesstempo seems more like a tester than a trainer. I'd like to see something with problem sets all based on the same theme, starting with easy and moving up in difficulty, so that you become trained in spotting that theme.  So you may enjoy the challenge but not improve your play.

  Any tactics trainer will be better than none, and honestly I would not worry too much about finding the perfect solution for you. Most tactics trainers out there are pretty decent and should suit most people's needs. That being said I like the one of **lichess**, for the following reasons:
  
  * gives you problems suited to your level (adapts to your tactics rating strength)
