blunder.clinic, dont blunder

I enjoyed it and will probably use it in the future, thanks.

One thing that tripped me up - the eval seems to be from the perspective of the player, not colour of the pieces, which is unusual. What I mean is that if you're playing black and have an advantage, eval will show +3.0 for example, instead of -3.0.
I think it would be best to stick to standard notation.

You are correct, and I went back and forth on this. I am reconsidering it after hearing more feedback. Thanks!

I went ahead and just updated it haha. Should be the traditional evaluation now.

I've only done a brief test, but it looks really good. I'll keep using it. Thanks for creating this.

This is an amazing tool, I will be using this every day! I have been looking for something like this. I hope this gets a lot more attention.

I'm a software engineer, so let me know if you need any help with dev or maintenance.

very nice, thanks for putting this together! lots of nice features and addressing an important training need... (:

I did feel that some of the positions I got I wouldn't consider "blunders" because they are genuinely hard (for an 1800 like me anyway) to evaluate. For example this one:

I'd prefer a version that is more based on "you see it or you don't" type blunders rather than just challenging evals.

Blunders that are hard to see are still blunders, training to spot them is how you get better

did a lil test ,,, and i think its actually a pretty good puzzle trainer keep working on this but also someone else said this earlier the eval bar say +4 when black has an advantage does this mean black is better or white ???

Every piece of software like this that gets developed makes finding an old-school coach who interviews every last potential client for fit and uses engines only as a last resort, which some of us (including me) still demand, harder. I'll leave it at that.
