Worth it for the Puzzles, outdated UI

Love the puzzles on offer here. It’s worth purchasing the individual tactics courses/lessons. I highly recommend this app for improvement. The big downside is the outdated UI. While it looks like chess com it runs very slow (each piece slowly slides across the board when moved), coupled with the sometimes hard to navigate menus it doesn’t quite hit the peak it should. It would be nice if you could do puzzles at a faster rate, similar to something like puzzle rush or chess tempo but unfortunately we’ll have to take the courses and lessons as they are. Praying one day it gets an upgrade to something like the lichess engine which is open source. Still definitely an app worth having If you’re looking to improve your skill and rating

By far the best collection of chess tactics

You do not need Chess.com or Lichess tactics. The curated problems for all of the courses are so much better, and the length/depth of variations will help train your calculation far better

Искал медь, нашел золото.

Организация занятий идеальная: теория, практика, тренировка. Занятия по уровням, визуализация траектории, понимание, сколько ещё осталось. Супер организация!

Даже добавить нечего, разве что дизайн чуть осовременить.

Спасибо за разработку! Подписался на 100 лет, доволен 😊.

Minor issues.

Love Chess King, but the lack of setting to adjust for under promotion deserves only a 4.
