Crashes on iPhone 4 unless its the only app loaded. Games and puzzles start at final position and not initial position???


Chess database app

I really like this app. I was able to figure most of the functions easily. The auto play feature is a bit fast. It was like watching a 1 minute game. Needs to allow some speed adjustment. My main criticism is not with the app itself but with game information. Seems a lot of guessing was done on the player names. I could find my games from the 1992 US Open but the names were wrong. My first name was incorrect and one of my 2 opponents was as well. Also the event is not listed. Most databases have my first initial since the I used my first and middle initials. A habit I picked up from the old chess books I read ( like J R Capablanca ). All of my tournament score sheets are labeled that way. Unfortunately the middle initial was dropped in the daily bulletin. But that does not excuse altering the name entirely. I really think a better job of maintaining the information should have been done. Since this is not the fault of the software it will not affect my rating.

It's almost what I'm looking for, but I don't see any way to enter your own variations on a game.
