Rob73667483Rob73667483

Great app but need a lot more exercises of the different openings.

It’s a really good app. I’ve learned a lot so far about how openings work.I just wish there were more examples of the opening systems. I rather like the Leningrad Dutch and want to learn more about it but you give only one example (sic) that said, the example given is very powerful. It would be great to give 20 or more examples of the different openings if at all possible. After studying some of the examples I was blasting my opponents of the board! The interface/ layout and idea/ concept are very good and easy to follow. We just need more examples/ exercises of them. Cheers

Demonstrates how to gain your opponent’s confidence without giving them anything useful. Clever but useless.
