  • Close to a great app

    Overall, I’m satisfied with the app. It’s instructive, helpful, and allows you explore strategies at your own pace. My one critique is: it would be amazing if the app could track your progress on skills learned. So for example, if I just learned about castling and the skill is complete but I play three games and didn’t castle but it was warranted then the learned castling skill should regress. Same thing for pins, checkmates, etc. It’s very easy to learn a skill, practice it, and forget it completely. Since this is a paid app, I don’t think that’s too high of a bar to meet.
  • Best app ever

    Tried the free trial and ended up getting it continued. I knew how the pieces moved in chess but never knew strategy or theory. Took chess up again recently and my game has improved dramatically! The developer is not paying me to say this. It truly is a wonderful app and is helping me become more aware of game board state. The coaching is great and explanations are very easy to digest. I find this app very relaxing and is great for beginners that want to up their game! Cheers and thanks for a wonderful app!
  • THANK YOU!

    I have been wanting to learn how to play chess since I was a child. Thanks to your app. I can look at the pieces and know how to actually play the game. I haven’t won any games as of yet, but I know with practice I’ll be able to. I have at least been able to end few games in a draw. For a beginner, I think that’s very good! Not only has this gotten me excited, but I’m actually getting addicted to chess! Thank you for an excellent training app!

    I'm merely pretty terrible! I progressed pretty quickly to "strong intermediate" thanks to the guided review of mistakes, well structured lessons, and the way this app encourages consistent practice. For this, it is VERY good. My only two issues with it are 1.) There is a huge step up in difficulty from intermediate to strong intermediate - while this may just be my lack of cognitive ability, it took me 35 losses and 6 draws to get to 25 wins, and none of those with fewer than 3 undos. 2.) There are times when Dr. Wolf says "Not the move I expected," or "Not your best move," and it would be very helpful to be able to know what the correct move was. There are other times when I simply want to know WHY - e.g.: on what premise or lesson is he leaning for a particular suggestion? It would also be very helpful to review my wins. How did I checkmate in 10 moves on strong intermediate TWICE? Why did those times feel so easy when he's constantly wiping the board with me?! Devs: Kudos on such an entertaining and educational platform! Keep going!

    Awesome, great ! Love the different degrees of experience one goes through. Id suggest 5 wins per level to advance…even if you are a rated player…doesn’t hurt to play 5 games at any level. Just seems like you are accomplishing something

    I’m not even past the fundamentals and talking to myself about becoming a Grand Master! Never thought at age 71 I could learn even the basics! I love this so much. Thanks for giving me a fun, addicting way to exercise my brain! This app is perfect!! I enjoy playing the chapters over and over! Good job!
