Puzzle training "STOP method"

This method is for all beginners. The method forces the player to learn to think. (Thinking is hard)

  1. Go to puzzles, select rated mix mode +-0.
  2. Look at the puzzle. If you found the solution easily, make your moves.
  3. If you don't see a solution then STOP!

Stop sTop stOP!!!
Don't move your fingers! Don't click on your pieces! Don't touch the screen at all!
Place your phone in front of you. Release the computer mouse. Stop, don't do anything! START THINKING!
Look at the problem with your eyes and look for a solution in your mind. Search for a minute. Search for two minutes. Search for five minutes. Get up and walk around the apartment. Go and drink some water. Go eat some candy. Try to remember the problem in your head and solve it in your head. Go back to the screen but don't pick up the mouse, don't touch the phone! Look at the problem and solve it in your mind.
If you don't see a solution, take a screenshot of the problem and show the problem on the forum. No link allowed! People click on the link, but they can’t click on it. Only the image can be used! Show the screenshot to your coach. Send a screenshot to your friends in chat. It will take 10 minutes or 15 minutes. It is forbidden to move at random! Only after the hints, when you see a clear solution to the problem in your mind, then you can make the first move. I order you to make the first move until you see the last one! Stop walking! First you need to think!
