How bad is Dr. Wolf (Actually, a little more than kind of bad)

I want to complete the task, win with none of the pawns taken.And he keeps taking them, so I have to restart the game almost every every every single time. (And it’s about more than 10 times) (And it’s soooooooooo annoying)

Actually works and fun, too

play for free. No ads.
Never won a game of chess in my life until Doc showed me what better moves looked like.Now when I play, I improve.
Can practically feel the new neural pathways opening up.

Fantastic! 💕🌷

This app is great if you want to practice chess or learn and I have improved my skills a lot with it. I love how you can choose a level and review your match to see the mistakes you’ve made. I highly recommend this app! 💕🌷🎀

Outstanding!

The best chess app that I have ever used, great for learning and practice - truly amazing

Came to learn

This program teaches nothing. Just a waste of time and energy. If there was a proper follow thru with moves as you are playing, that were wrong or blunders, not after the fact, it might’ve been ok.
