ChessTempo.com - you HAVE to try it! - 2008/09/02 20:54
Thanks for reading and posting, ChessTeacher.
I heard about CTS, but I never went there, so I can't really compare. This is what the developer of ChessTempo is saying about his site:
"I had become frustrated with the number of tactical blunders I kept making in my own games. After looking at some free desktop tactics training tools, I thought it might be fun to write a web based trainer that others could also use. So I got started coding. Part way through this, I stumbled upon Chess Tactics Server. CTS had done a good job of implementing much of the functionality I was interested in seeing and I considered ditching my own project. However CTS was missing a few features I had on my wishlist and given I had already written at least half of my own application I decided to forge ahead. Unfortunately, coding has taken up more time than tactics solving so I'm still making all those silly tactical blunders  I hope others find Chess Tempo useful in improving their game."
Based on that, probably there is not too much difference. I really like the people frequenting ChessTempo though, I think they are a good community (not to say CTS doesn't have one - I just don't know so I cannot compare).
For my own exercises, I use Chessimo (a program I bought from www.chessimo.com) which looks very valid to me, and then I use ChessTempo to "test my progress", together with online games and, when possible, OTB games.
