Love it!

Only one thing I would like to see added. Being able to use this as a scoresheet when playing a regular game of chess o n this or another board. Instead of writing down move on a score sheet you could just make the moves on this board as well. The '' on a iPad???

be able to export the game to analyze. Please make my dream come true!

Still like it a lot, but how do you get the keyboard up to enter text and save a position

Great app

Easy to use, clear graphics. An excellent study tool.

Great practice tool

When going through chess books and they explore different lines, you can back up to a particular starting point. No engine or help-it is what it says , just a simple board. One addition that would be nice is a move counter so you know if you’re on track with what you’re studying.

Simple

One observation - the chessmen are not bound by the rules (i.e., they can move anywhere), so learners may find that misleading.
