Playing chess endgames is a very important and efficient way to improve one's chess skills. But often it's very difficult and expensive for a player to find a partner or tutor to help practice endgames. This app solves this problem by collecting over 60,000 endgames and providing an easy and simple interface for the user to play endgames. The user can try to solve the puzzle first and then verify the solution with the computer. Or the user can study the solution provided by the computer. With time, the user can improve his/her chess skills quickly.
What is this?
I don’t even know what this is supposed to be. It’s completely stupid.
United StatesImproving somewhat
YAY !!! Now I CAN go directly to a specific game number. As promised, I’ve changed my rating from 2 stars to 5 stars. Thank you !!! But STILL can’t go directly to a specific game number. Add that and get five stars from me.

United StatesYou Ruined It !!
Well, it’s partly repaired, but now it no longer promotes pawns and it’s also no longer possible to enter a particular problem number.
United StatesYou Ruined It !!
It was great. It was 5 stars. But then you “fixed” it and now it’s no longer any fun at all. It only shows about 25 endgames and those are super-simple ones numbered from about 56,000 up. I was only at 2,325 but was enjoying it a lot. Now it’s totally useless to me.
United StatesGive Credit Where Due
These are problems of the mate in X variety. For example the first one 8/8/8/p7/kPr4R/N1P5/2P5/1K5Q is by A.Myers, 1882. There are three issues with this app: (1) They do not credit any of the composers. This is beyond annoying, it is simply NOT DONE. One star for that alone. (2) They do not give the stipulations, in this case "mate in 2". (3) They do not give the correct solutions, for this one it is 1.Qd5. The app seems to calculate the solution on the fly, the first time it gave mate in 4 starting 1.b5+, the second time mate in 3 starting 1.Qa8. I looked at a sample of the other problems and it is the same story.
United StatesEndgame Training or Puzzles?
I would say they are puzzles, puzzles with about 1/4 or so pieces on the board. I guess they are endgame puzzles, as solving the puzzles results in checkmate. The price is right, the app is entertaining, so I give it 5 stars.
