This is really fun! I love that it has such awesome explanations/tests/puzzles! The animations are good and instructions very clear! I definitely recommend this! Can't wait for the next levels!
Great learning tool

This is perfect for me trying to get back to playing chess. For me, much easier to follow the simulated moves than from a book. The quality and ease of use are as good as any "app" I have seen. You will love it!
Nice app
funkbass09
Great for a chess newbie like myself. I like how the lessons progressively increase in difficulty. I hope the developers are working on adding more content.
Good app

Bug City

This app is filled with bugs and inaccuracies. You make a correct move in the puzzles and it'll tell you it's wrong. This app needs LOTS of work!
Needs checking
Richnasser
App is nice and compact. I have the first two levels. I wish for more information on the lessons. Like many chess books etc they tell you the what but not the why of certain tactics and strategies. There are also some errors in the puzzles where pieces seem to be missing. They need to check each one for accuracy.
Basic errors in the puzzles

I have already found basic errors in the puzzles. If I didn't know a little about chess, I wouldn't have noticed.
Apparent Bug in App
cpacook
When you complete the last puzzle of a section the app will not check it off as complete on the puzzles summary page. This makes it very difficult (and annoying) to accurately track your progress over time. Good start but developer did not test it enough--you find this problem after using the app 5 minutes.
