It would be extremely boring to be beaten all the time, so fortunately Chess Tiger has several options for you. The most interesting are the "Trainer" levels. These levels of increasing difficulty are designed to help you to improve your chess. In the "Trainer" modes, Chess Tiger gives you some opportunities to win. Exactly like a real player would do. Because nobody's perfect! Play very carefully, and you will most probably be able to find a winning line.
When you are able to beat, say, the "Trainer 4" level on a regular basis, switch to "Trainer 5". Each new level is slightly more difficult to win.
The tables below will help you to find out about your own strength depending on the highest Trainer Level you can beat.

How to read these tables: they explain that if you are able to beat Chess Tiger set at Trainer Level 5, in a regular game, without using the "take back" feature and without thinking for more than one minute per move, then you are probably above 1600 USCF ELO (or 1480 FIDE ELO). In order to get a good validity for such a claim, you should be able to beat it constantly, not just once.
