Aside from the actual player vs. player chess games offered in corrspondence and live style, there are the tactics trainer and the chess mentor which train a player to think and look for specific things and positions. For instance the tactics trainer helps a player spot forks, hanging pieces, quick checkmates, pins, and skewers, which are essential for strong gameplay, especially middle game. The Chess Mentor shows various positions and walks a player through the best moves with a trial and error based system. It also brings up famous games and assists the player in analyzing them, which is integral to developing a quick thinking, analytical chess mind.
