Worst chess program ever
Largephotoguy
This program does not describe chess openings at all. There’s only a selection of videos but no compilations or explanations of standard chess openings. When you open the playing board you can see responses to your opening moves in the chess notation format but the board doesn’t even have the squares marked for you.
Good stuff

The videos are helpful introductions to the various openings and the database-linked board app is a nice way to practice and explore different lines.
Wonderful app

I came across this app recently quite by accident. I am so impressed. Dereque explains the main ideas of the openings so clearly and with so much enthusiasm, I am hooked. The only problem? It doesn’t go on forever.
Outstanding!!!!
N2CHESS
This is my favorite CHESS OPENINGS app. This app EXCEEDED my expectation in every way. 1. Mr. Kelly is simply outstanding!! He expounds chess knowledge in a clear and concise manner. 2. The graphic interface is THE BEST!!! 3. This is simply MY GO TO OPENING APP. 4. A big THANK YOU!!! to Mr. Kelly and all others involved with the creation of this FANTASTIC APP!!!!!
Good info on WHY different openings
romadave
He presents good background related to mid game and end game decisions on why certain opening moves are played. This is better than just memorizing setups with no reason. Also he takes the openings a few steps more than others I’ve seen. Watching up to the tenth move or so gives you a better idea what is the idea than just the first 3 or 4 moves. And the practice computer is good to review what he teaches. Nice app.
Money worthy to pay for it
elcriollito
This app has a several video opening tutorial that make your money value to pay for it. Aditionaly. I highly recommend this app to my friends in chess and i am not recomending this to the haters cheater in chess so they can lost their games against me in .....
Good app, needs arrow keys
Rasping Bard
This is a very good app, but badly needs a set of forward and back arrow keys to navigate through the tree of openings.
