Frustrating Bczz

First, thank you, to the publisher making this available for free. I have enjoyed what I could.
There are more than one way to approach the report on this app if either you are up for a good challenge or if you like find a way to burn time. It's possible to want both, like waiting until you've finished serving your sentence.
The way I approach is to just find the solution. We assume everyone would. It's frustrating when the solution is bogus. Once that happens I leave the app forever as I'm not in jail and don't need to burn time.
Case in point is the W.Pauly, puzzle. The visual solution isn't possible and the print-out of the moves isn't accurate. It's just mistakes but that's frustrating. After that I can no longer trust the app.
It's good to get an eye for checkmate. The shorter scenarios are more realistic for sharpening your game. The 3- 4 move puzzles depend on the computer opponents yet unknown moves and are more like hobby time.
I'm sure they will fix or remove the W.Pauly puzzle.

Fun App

These chess puzzles are a delightful challenge. Thank you. If you relish the smell of circuits burning between your ears, tally-ho. The app is no push-over but merciful enough to let your head expand a size or two --if you have a big sack of patience and try a passel of times. ( I'm still trying, and still not solving too many. But if you lean in your ear a million meters closer and stifle a heartbeat or two in a row, you just might sense my skull stretching.) Yeah, the puzzles are great fun, in a humble pie kind of way.

Not enough puzzles

I like the games, challenging and fun. But they only give you ten of them, I was done in a day. If they update they really need to add a heck of a lot more to puzzles to this app!
