Don't use the computer for a solution

Hi all,

This app is excellent. The chess problems are actual problems that have been previously posted in magazines, newspapers, forums etc and have all been compiled into this app. The solutions are not always obvious, and as such, a computer may have a difficult time finding the correct move to get to mate (which is generally a very quiet move, or not a move you'd look at right away). With that being said, the solutions are written in TEXT form and are always correct. The computer doesn't refer to the text solution - it just tries to solve it (brute force) and sometimes it is wrong. Don't blame the limitations of the hardware. Every single line is written out in each of the solutions, and each solution leads to mate. If you pick up algebraic notation you'll quickly understand what I'm talking about.

Make u see the forest from the trees

Fake solutions

First puzzle that I tried, I couldn't figure out the solution, so I used the cheat button. The solution that the game gave me didn't seem right, so I plugged the setup into a chess program. Sure enough It was a mate in 4. This was just the first puzzle in the bunch. This doesn't speak good for the app.
