Most realistic chess puzzle app
These are not “artificial puzzles “ but taken from real games. You can buy a book of puzzles from real games, but this beats them all!
2stars only because it’s free!
Abrupt quits are frequent, and the solver can’t produce hints or solutions for any of the mate-in-7 problems. So it’s good for all the problems up to mate in 6, which is good enough practice. It’s entirely possible that more powerful iPhones will support this app completely, so if you have an 8 or higher give it a try!
Good practice
These nice little challenges help me improve my game. A good mixture for me of easy and hard chess puzzles.
Great
Good
Great little program, but...
I found all the problems entertaining. I found a number of alternate and quicker solutions to a few problems, but two of the problems had no solutions or were presented improperly (for instance black to play, instead of white to play)
Great value!
The amount of value in this app is quite high. I do like the verisimilitude of the positions.
A must have app for everyone who is interested in Chess
