To-Do

• More automatic tagging (sacrifices, Zugzwang, Zwischenzug, checkmate patterns, avoid stalemate...)
• More subtags (Fork (Knight), Pin (Queen) etc. or just add tags per involved piece)
• Better automatic tagging (not a trivial task)
• Local puzzle blacklist (ignore list)
• Better activity log, activity streak
• Find some way of rating puzzles by difficulty without relying on a central server and user tracking (if at all possible)
• localStorage space limit may become an issue with large puzzlesets, maybe use lz-string
• Opening trainer
• Guess the move
