### 5/5 — Flawless

*2026-01-11*

I write software, and I cannot think of *anything* that would make this app better  We’re using it to train 4-yr-olds.  We set the pieces up on a chessboard   (Holding the pieces accelerates learning)  The feature ‘Analyze’ is fantastic!  (It shows why material-gaining puzzles have been solved)  Oh!  One more thing!  They don’t know that they’re also learning how to create puzzles
