So good

So refreshing to have an app just focused on what it’s for not spamming ads and micro transactions.

Thank you!

Dr Wolf

Dr Wolf has helped me with chess lots and has taught me some good moves like en passant though you only get a few free games then you have to sign up for coaching

Just the beginning!

I was looking for something to keep my mind focused and eureka. Just what I needed and I enjoy very much. I am just a beginner, but what fun!

An opportunity: lacks in educating but nice aesthetics

It feels like a nicer aesthetic layer over stock fish.

Where it fails is it almost never explains why a suggested move would be beneficial (of course beyond the obvious material win/loss scenarios)

It may suggest a move because the bots statistically believe it to be better, but without justification. A human teacher would explain a suggested move but without that you’re just mindlessly following steps without any strategy development

Computationally that would be really hard to do because the bot moves are rarely understandable to the worlds greatest players but if they can find a way to develop that side of the app it’s going to be a handy tool
