Endgame Training Includes • 60+ detailed lessons • Fundamental checkmates (queen, rook, etc.) • Advanced techniques like building the bridge • 180+ training positions to practice against a human-like engine Instead of only studying theory, you get to play and convert winning positions to reinforce what you’ve learned. --- Additional Features • All Endgame and Opening Lessons work offline (Great for the airplane and your commute) • 100,000+ chess puzzles • In-depth analysis of your online games • Personalized training recommendations --- Built by Chess Players Lotus Chess was created by two brothers who started playing chess at age four.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Lotus Chess at 1.1K against Coduzzle's 1. Lotus Chess also leads on device support and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). Coduzzle's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and review sentiment (100% vs 86%). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Coduzzle holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lotus Chess has 1.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 86% of Lotus Chess's written reviews are positive against 100% of Coduzzle's.
