My Chess Puzzles (Chess Tactics) includes over 10.000 interactive chess problems ranging from mate in 2 moves all the way to mate in 10 moves! The object is to finish each puzzle by forcing a checkmate in a given number of moves. The goal of all chess puzzles is to checkmate your virtual (AI) opponent no matter what moves they make (a forced mate), in the requested number of moves. All of the puzzles were hand picked and were either taken from actual games or are compositions inspired by actual games. All chess puzzles are automatically verified, so all solutions are guaranteed to be correct and complete. You can also compete with other players using Game Centre Leaderboard system. You get 10 points every puzzle you solve. But if you use retry or hint, you get less points. Plus, puzzles get harder in higher levels but you get more points.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: My Chess Puzzles at 4.6 against Chess Trainer Pro's 4.0. My Chess Puzzles also leads on ratings volume (131 vs 5) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.0). Chess Trainer Pro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

My Chess Puzzles holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Chess Puzzles has 131 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of My Chess Puzzles's written reviews are positive against 80% of Chess Trainer Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
