It all started in the 1994 when the company Convekta in Russia (which became later ChessOk) created the CT-ART brand (it stands for Chess Tactics Art). People noticed when countless grandmasters and international masters were asked how they became so good, and they answered it was thanks to the courses "CT-ART". Since then new versions of the software have been created, and since 2008, teaming up with the company Chess King, the courses have been improved (checking of all variations, partial credit given, 5x5 hint puzzles) and have been made compatible with all modern computer and mobile platforms.

Ct-Art 6.0 since 2010 was the largest Tactics combo available with over 10,000 exercises for all chess players, from beginners to masters. The most used chess tactics package in the world. 12 years later, Chess King perfected the exercises and added 10,000 to end with 20,000 exercises in all areas of tactics to get to 10 Tactics courses. And now, in 2024, we added 10 new Tactics courses to make sure you get to any level you want to. The 20 courses are the best in Tactics and Defense and will accompany you from absolute beginner to accomplished chess master. You can access the courses directly in any web browser at learn.chessking.com or on any mobile phone or tablet via the free Chess King App (see chessking.app)
