Great app!
Tons of chess puzzles to solve — I have learned a lot from this!
Discrepancies
A couple of times in test I found myself scratching my head on the number of moves your machine needed to take for checkmate over mine. The last test I did only took two of my moves, but errored. So, I allowed the machine to animate the right moves which took four, with my pieces winding up exactly the same in two moves without risks. This time I took screenshots to study the round. Sure enough, two was all that was needed. Waz up?
Stop copying clipboard contents
Hmm, why does a chess puzzle need to copy the clipboard contents each time it opens? And why does this app not have a privacy policy? Absent some good answers, suggest deleting this app.
An enjoyable challenge
It took me a while but I did finish all of them. Then went back and did the 15 that I had totally missed and was able to do them (some with a little help). I definitely improved my skill and ability from doing this exercise, and it was also a great way to pass the time. I look forward to going through more of the Chess King apps. Jim
