Still the Best chess game app out there

If you can add Ai ChatGtp discussion abilities that would be Huge! Also It would be great if you could play different openings by name. I’ve been using this app for years and it’s the greatest. You can play against the computer and work your way up the Elo difficulty ladder. You can save games and import games to watch and learn. I do wish that the developer would create a set of PGN lessons to import. I would buy a lesson plan to help learn specific openings and strategies. But even just as is Chess Pro is the Best!

Improving your skills

Great app for improving your chess skills

Great teacher

Love the teaching and the competition

Bait and switch.

Pay $9.99, get lessons on how the pieces move and nothing else. Pay another $2.99 and they’ll teach you some more.

Ai Driven

At least the Ai engine has empathy, and allows a very below average chess player to win a game every now and again. Don’t believe me? Find a person you know who is a below average chess player and ask them if they will sit down and play at least 9 games in order to cement my theory.
