Fantastic but delay or lack of delay gives away correct move

Wonderful but if you make the correct move, opponents piece moves right away. If you make an incorrect move, there’s a decent delay indicating you made the wrong move. A good solution would just be random delays added to correct moves.

Application d'exercices magnifique

Brilliant

This simple app is brilliant. It really gets you thinking and it’s only two moves. Learning so much, with so many ‘of course’ moments. Well done!

Most realistic chess puzzle app

These are not “artificial puzzles “ but taken from real games. You can buy a book of puzzles from real games, but this beats them all!
