Chess Problems.

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.
