Neat app, but quiz mode could be better
Cid Hamete Benengeli
This is what it says it is: an opening explorer with the names of the openings and relevant stats. Very handy. But quiz mode isn't the best. It just shows a position and asks what the most popular or statistically best move is. Which would be helpful if there were another mode for practicing particular lines. It should basically do what memchess.com does, which is present you with starting positions and ask you to play through one or more openings you've selected at repeating intervals until you play each one three times from memory. I like that, but memchess unfortunately lacks stats. This app ought to have something like it, a practice mode followed by a quiz mode that, like the current quiz mode, selects random positions (but only from the openings you just practiced) and asks for the main line or popular or statistically best move. I'd pay money for that, just for the developers' information.
