One of the best but expensive

This app is very complete. It includes the clock, which is nice but could be optional. With so many other chess apps available, I suspect that very few people are willing to spend $25 to activate all the lessons.

Terrible

It doesn't even explain anything. It just plops you right into a game you know nothing a bout. So stupid.

excellent

i like playying chess,this is a fun game.A good application.

Good work

Chess trainer

It's a very good app to train, I like it.

Chess Trainer

I love this app because it has excellent tactics in different areas that has helped me to develop a keen eye to recognize tactical solutions to different problems. The trick is to go over them constantly until it becomes part of you.

The lessons are another plus because they are tailored for the club player. It is helping me to look at the board from the perspective of an expert. I'm also learning to play with a plan, but it is important to repeat the lessons as often as possible in order to understand some of the complexities of chess positions.

On the other hand, I would love to see an improvement in the quality of the boards and have the ability to choose different kind of pieces.

By the way, the prices for different packages are very reasonable.

Love it every time you fix it don't work. Now it just quits after the up date crash city

The program is an overall good program that will help train your eyes to watch the whole board and also helps you remember a certain tactical ideas and combinations so in all it's a very good program to use for training

New update is very bad.

First off, I love this app. Great puzzles by category and fantastic interactive lessons. New update requires an email or Facebook account, which I think should be optional. Also, it crashed immediately when I choose the email option. After deleting the app and reinstalling it, I could finally sign in. But the app crashes when I try to view the new lesson that was added. Whoever came up with this update should admit they made a mistake and fix it ASAP. NO MANDATORY EMAIL.

Bad bad bad

I've spent good money on this and they changed it to MANDATORY must give an email address to use the app you already bought and pride for. Which is bad enough bit it CRASHES AFTER you type in all the info. Bad bad bad. Pathetic QA. Stay away.

Great chess but lacks function

Lost all my puzzle progress on update :(. I do not really want to redo hundreds of puzzles I've already done. Needs a way to browse the puzzles and review previously solved ones. Despite that there is a lot of concise delicious chess learning here.

Crash crash

Latest update just crashes immediately after signing in. Also why do I have to sign in. Please fix this.

Great app but 2 requests

This app is great but neglects the defensive side of chess. I would love to see 4 play modules added. Some with simple defense problems where a piece is threatened, and others with advanced threat problems, that address not just threat of mate, but more complex loss of material as well. This is a great app as is, but would be the best available if it addressed the defensive side of chess with about 600 defense puzzles.

It has everything

A bunch of opening, middlegame, and endgame puzzles, as well as mini-tutorials that focus on various aspects of the game. A good deal of fun.

Fantastic!

I'm pretty new and this helps.

Pretty good app, just empty

The app has great info and has good examples and step by step stuff. You scroll through moves and it explains each one But leaves you hanging as a lot is "coming soon" for the past year.

Great chess app to learn fundamentals and tactics

Great app to learn chess. Explains rules, theories, openings, middle games, end gams, tactics and more to learn the game. Gives you a hands-on experience to teach you the concepts given and does a great job explaining how to apply the concepts. I have already made a few purchases to extend the content. However, $22 to unlock all of the content seems pretty steep. I think $10 to unlock all of the content at once would be fair.
