Reviews

Very helpful and informative

It would be a five star review, but sometimes when you get a tactic wrong it highlights some pieces in either red, yellow or green. No where does it explain what this means so when I see it I’m left asking “what is this supposed to mean?”

this is a great program I have been using it for a year and it is challenging enough for me to understand


Great App

I enjoyed and got a lot out of the examples. Will buy it!!!


Remarkably useful and entertaining.

This may turn out to be my favorite of the several Chess King Apps that I picked up today (during an orgy of gratitude that such apps even exist!) Started from the beginning. Found a position on the screen. Took a second to figure out how to conveniently rewind -- then play back through -- the game, back up to the first shown position (at which a blunder had occurred). Gazed at the screen and tried to figure out how to refute the blunder. Got some feedback on my choice. Realized that going through ALL the available positions should prove to be a wonderful supplement to the tactics practice I was already starting to get from the also terrific Chess Art app. Unfortunately, my regular chess opponents will likely discover these wonderful apps someday, too.

Great concept Poor presentation.


Excellent product and app

I've been using Chess King apps for over 2 months now. I used to like CT-Art 4 on PC but it was waaaay too clumsy and required constant internet access to the server which was odd. In addition to this app I've been using Chess tactics 1400-1600 on my iPhone and CT-ART on my iPad. Really beautiful stuff with explanations and animations. Recommend you download the free version then buy the whole app. Explore other King Chess apps. Again , this is an excellent training choice. FYI , for regular games against iphone try Chess Pro Coach.


Amazing
Procrastigamer

The best thing about this is the availability of many different levels so one can find exercises to challenge in self with but st the same time not je stumped by. This is what I love about this app and it seems like there are enough apps to keep my busy for a very long time. Highly recommended!
