This is a true endgame app
This is NOT a collection of chess puzzles. With such puzzles there’s only one right move. Make a wrong move, and the game halts. And you get an error message of some sort.
Here you start with actual endgames. You can make any legal move you want and the game will continue on.
I can’t rate the game 5 stars because it’s a bit clunky. After you move you must press an arrow to get the computer to move.
It would be nice if the computer then moved automatically like in most chess games.

What is this?
I don’t even know what this is supposed to be. It’s completely stupid.
Improving somewhat
YAY !!!
Now I CAN go directly to a specific game number. As promised, I’ve changed my rating from 2 stars to 5 stars.
Thank you !!!
But STILL can’t go directly to a specific game number. Add that and get five stars from me.

Give Credit Where Due
These are problems of the mate in X variety. For example the first one 8/8/8/p7/kPr4R/N1P5/2P5/1K5Q is by A.Myers, 1882. There are three issues with this app: (1) They do not credit any of the composers. This is beyond annoying, it is simply NOT DONE. One star for that alone. (2) They do not give the stipulations, in this case "mate in 2". (3) They do not give the correct solutions, for this one it is 1.Qd5. The app seems to calculate the solution on the fly, the first time it gave mate in 4 starting 1.b5+, the second time mate in 3 starting 1.Qa8. I looked at a sample of the other problems and it is the same story.

Badly designed
There are no instructions and you have to play both sides!
