Wonderful Chess Problems from the Great Masters

CV Petanqueur

There is nothing better than trying to find solutions for chess puzzles from the actual games from the masters. A wonderful find!

AMAZING

Truly...if you are looking to perfect your end game what better way to do so than to study the Masters. One of my all time favorite apps!

A great collection of mating nets, and the app can be improved

This app collects over 600 mating nets from real games, from two-movers up to over 15 moves. (Top-flight players resign when the net becomes obvious, but this app gives you the chance to administer the satisfying coups de grace, if you can find them.) would that we could find these positions over the board! The app has some rough patches that can be fixed. On my year-old iPad Air, it still crashes if I tap "Previous game" even when there is one to select. There are undocumented functions, such as the mysterious "Figurine notion" I'm still trying to observe. Landscape mode, which it lacks, would be nice. A little editing of player names would improve things; I suspect some of the players with different names are really the same ones. (A previous review commented on the delay when you make a "wrong" move, but I can explain that one: there is an evaluation engine that kicks in and generates a response if you don't make the right move.) It would be nice to be able to search for mates by your favorite players. (Mine is Lasker.) All in all this is a very nice collection and a fun app for any chess player to have!
