Lots of puzzles
DoulosKyriou

I downloaded this for the massive numbers of chess puzzles. I'm just getting back into chess so these are going to prove very helpful! My only suggestion is I'd like for them to tell you what type of puzzle they are, e.g. "Mate in 2"

Not very good.

Bought this game to be able to play using bluetooth. After a dozen or so moves, the game exits bluetooth and you loose the game. Epic fail on the part of the dev's. If they fix this, I would change my rating. Otherwise, this app is garbage.

Promising

It's nice that it has lots of puzzles, but as others have pointed out it doesn't really tell you the best solution, or how many moves to win. The puzzles have many different ways to win. When I compared to HIARCS, it picked out a better solution. It does have a chess engine to show hints for the best move. It lets you play through variations, which a lot of other puzzles don't do. iPad version needs to have a landscape variation.
