There 1177 of them to be exact. It's great practice! You won't be disappointed! ### 5/5 — Challenging *2016-09-22* These definitely make me a better player. ### 5/5 — Fun training *2016-06-21* This, like other similar chess-puzzle apps, is helpful to one's game when the move sequence is analyzed. Great to aid tactics and strategic sequencing. ### 5/5 — Unbelievable.. *2015-11-13* Someone has done a great job to collect all these amazing, entertaining puzzles. A must have app for most of the chess fans who want to develop their skill. ### 5/5 — Sehr unterhaltsam *2015-09-07* Eine tolle Mischung aus sehr interessanten und anspruchsvollen Schachproblemen. Sehr zu empfehlen 😀 ### 5/5 — Great little app *2015-07-04* It's fun to sit with my iPhone or iPad and work my through the puzzles. I'm delighted. ### 5/5 — One of the Best *2015-04-13, version 3.2* Of the chess apps this is one of the best. ### 5/5 — Great puzzles *2015-01-24* Doing puzzles like this really improves my game. My only gripe is that when you get a hint, the interface just skips right ahead to the completed response from the opponent, so you have to rewind each time to really see what happened. Not enough of a pain to knock a star off, though. Well worth 99 cents if you're into chess. ### 5/5 — Great App *2015-01-16* Not much else to say. Great puzzles. Good user interface. Worth the money. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2015-01-11* I'm getting back into chess so I can play my kids. This game really helps me relearn my end game. ### 5/5 — Fantastic! *2014-11-22* Amazing collection of puzzles that have been a lot of fun to solve and have also improved my skills! ### 5/5 — Now This Is Great and Working Fine *2014-11-01* This app is totally cool...........All these puzzles giving me tons of practice and turning me into a chess grandmaster. Who could ask for more?..........And it's such a humongus amount. Wow!............And they not too hard, nor too easy. Just right. I hate hard puzzles, and I hat easy puzzles................This is just right. Nice. ### 5/5 — Highly entertaining... *2014-04-11* I don't have to explain what chess problems are, they aren't like your marriage--they can be solved. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Great potential but.... *2014-04-20, version 3.1* Continual crash. App closes in middle of solution. iPad 3 128 gig. ### 4/5 — Really good puzzles *2023-06-28* I only wish it would have the capability to play in landscape mode. ### 4/5 — Great app, but 2 mate in 4s actually 5, 6? *2018-10-09, version 4.0* Zuketort vs Schutz 1869 - 6? Rotterdam vs Leiden 1896 - 5? Did the two top players hack the game or leader board? ### 4/5 — Good chess puzzles *2017-09-25* I'm really enjoying this app. However, a few of the puzzles come up with different moves for the opponent than the official solution. I should have kept notes, but as I recall, at least one puzzle had an escape from mate in three. ### 4/5 — Great app -Puzzel *2016-07-29* I love the app...but my brain is having a hard time overcoming the Puzzel ### 4/5 — Is puzzle 302 possible ? *2015-02-04* Very good apps ! ### 4/5 — Great way to hone skills *2014-12-10* Enjoying this app it's a good eu to take a look at the game thru the masters eyes if didn't I know these moves had already been made would never see some of these solutions ### 5/5 — Chess Problems. *2025-10-07* An excellent app that does exactly as described. My Elo according to Shredder and Hiarcs is supposed to be around 190 but sometimes I think that if you take the 1 from the front it might be more accurate. Anyway there are only two problems with this app, the first being that I need to wear a beanie while playing because of all the head scratching and the second is finding enough time to appreciate the app.. “Dear the leaves need raking ect ect ect”. Seriously though this app is good entertainment if you like chess or are learning. It works well on my iPhone and Mac M4 so thank you to the developer for creating it. I have also purchased the bundled apps in this series (8) …A glutton for punishment… They are also well wort buying!! Cheers and happy head scratching, Rob. ### 5/5 — Excellent Chess Puzzle App *2022-11-30* Amazing value. Over 1000 chess puzzles based on real endgames. Nicely presented with hints if you need them. A real find! ### 5/5 — Good app, challenging puzzles *2022-02-07* Lots of puzzles; hints and solutions. I have enjoyed this app for over a year. One issue: lately it has been crashing. ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-01-28* Great app. Good practice for a noob like me! ### 5/5 — Brain training *2020-02-19* “Neurons that fire together wire together.” Great puzzles drawn from classic games to strengthen those cortical pathways. ### 5/5 — Excellent puzzles, animations too fast *2020-01-01* The puzzles are great. When I need a hint or to see the solution the animations are so fast it’s hard to tell what happened, a minor and easily fixed complaint. Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2019-04-14* A very well thought out and very well designed app. A pleasure to use b ### 5/5 — Great App! *2017-12-07* Really good app and even better with the bundle!👏👏👏👏👏 ### 5/5 — Chess puzzles *2017-10-01, version 3.2.1* Great app.i really love it.deserves 5 stars or more. China ### 5/5 — Please *2017-04-24* do blue dots (indicating all possible moves of selected figure) were optional. I wan't see them at all! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
