Great app, but…

I’m enjoying the puzzles and the no-nonsense interface, but I cannot upgrade to no-ads or buy more puzzles.

Great app

Excellent set of 1000 initial puzzles and hundreds more for purchase. Great integration with “Analyze This” (or is it Analyze That 😀) to try alternative lines. I would have given it 5 stars except I was unable to upgrade and the developers have not responded to my emails or in-app feedback.

Thoroughly enjoy it

I have used this app for at least a year. The division of the puzzles by difficulty is perfect for me. I’ve learned some tactics even from the “easy” puzzles especially when combined with Analyze This. I don’t play chess anymore—I don’t have any inclination to memorize openings. But I like chess puzzles and this app has provided many hours of enjoyment.

Mostly great, sometimes puzzles defy analysis

Using the linked analysis occasionally shows that your opponent mad a bad move which you couldn’t possibly predict. Master puzzle 35 is an example. If you can’t understand a puzzle solution

FAQ

What is this app?

This app provides a large collection of offline chess puzzles sourced from real FIDE tournament games. It's designed for practicing chess tactics and improving your game without needing an opponent or an internet connection. You can solve puzzles, track your progress, and even analyze moves.

How do I use the puzzles?

Simply launch the app and start solving the puzzles, which are arranged in increasing order of difficulty. You can also load your own PGN puzzle files by saving them to the iChess Documents folder via your Mac or PC. This allows you to practice specific openings or study famous games.

Is this app free?

The base app comes with a significant number of free puzzles. However, additional puzzle packs, such as those focusing on recent games, specific mate themes, or openings, are available for purchase within the app.

What are the system requirements?

The app is available on iOS. While the core puzzles are offline and do not require an internet connection, some advanced features like analyzing with a Chess Engine may require a separate app. The app does not support Chessbase CBH format for PGN files.

Can I play chess online with this app?

No, this app is specifically for solving chess puzzles and practicing tactics. It is not designed for playing chess online, against the mobile device, or with friends. The focus is on individual tactical improvement through pre-selected game scenarios.
