Your strategy skills
Each level shows how reliably you use the idea in these exercises, from your own last 20 answers off the board: Noticing, Applying, Reliable, Fluent. Answers in chess and poker show beside it as in the games, because being good at a game is not proof of the skill elsewhere. Levels go down as well as up, and never compare you with anyone else.

How sure you were
In practice and review you can say how sure you are before you answer. Well judged, you are right about as often as you said: 9 in 10 at 90%. Many people are right less often than they feel, which is worth knowing before a big decision.
| You said | Answers | Right first time |
|---|---|---|
| 50% sure | 0 | – |
| 70% sure | 0 | – |
| 90% sure | 0 | – |
