I suggest everyone to read Tord Romstad old suggestion here https://www.reddit.com/r/chess/comments ... pgn_format It was very interesting.

https://github.com/pychess/pychess has offline tactics from several sources.

Just noticed this post containing some issues regarding PyChess can't install rofChade.
