For
Chess players learning tactical motifs
Worth noticing
Its 240-position Practice sets conceal which motif is in play, testing recognition rather than naming the lesson first.

Field notes

The homepage groups material into three shelves: 39 checkmate patterns, nine tactics, and five king-side attacks. Examples include Epaulette mate, Cozio's mate, discovered check, and the Greek gift with h-pawn support. Each topic offers separate Learn and Practice routes; the practice totals are 142, 45, and 53 positions respectively, and the site says those positions conceal the motif being tested.
