    The worst chess app EVER
  • Amazing

    Truly great app. I have the pro version.
  • Please refund my money

    Does not train beyond opening position. Useless

    Add new positions to your repertoire first. The opening trainer trains positions from the repertoire only. You can use the built-in opening tree or ECO or import a PGN with unlimited depth. The number of lines in your repertoire is also unlimited, but you need to add them first.
  • Best of them all.

    I wish I could post a sceenshot of all the opening trainer apps I have. This one is the best by far, super nice and responsive dev, great options.

    Thank you!
  • Doesn't support split screen

    I need split screen so I can have a chess book or app on one side and your app on the other.

    Thanks for your suggestion! Split screen will be supported in the next version. UPDATE: Split screen is supported on tablets since Version 1.15.0
  • Great Surprise In Finding This App

    By chance while checking for any update to Vicoli’s “Chess Studio”, I found this outstanding chess opening app!

    My chess suffers from constant weak opening play and after a few dedicated hours with this program I have improved significantly when using my three favorite Black openings as I play opponents on-line. I have several other iPad chess opening apps that for several reasons including being BORING to use never made much difference to my opening play as Black.

    The interface is easy to learn and use, a crucial factor in its effectiveness. It’s features are well chosen and add the feeling “to explore”. The ability to replay Grandmasters’ openings with Stockfish assisting my understanding their game positions is a special feature to me. (Some favorite past Grandmasters I hope will be added to the 100+ available.)

    A wonderful addition to my iPad chess applications!

  • Works OK

    Seems to be the best opening trainer on iPadOS. Not perfect, but very useful.
  • World Class trainer

    I can’t say enough good things about this app. It’s simple to use, has a World Champion chess engine with a beautiful interface. It keeps board and piece options simple but all are quality options that most tournament players use.
    Using this app creates an opening repertoire that can be adjusted with ease. Using Stockfish you can explore and build openings that fit your temperament . Chess opener is the only app you need to become a strong opening player. Since I bought this app I stopped using Chessbase because on an IPad Chess Opener is convenient and enjoyable to use.

  • Good App

    It's a pleasure to use. I like my purple board and i like my reps i built. Number of stockfish lines I can set to 2 in settings.
  • Yep just what I was looking for.

    Helps you memorize openings by repetition of lines. Great work.
