Love it. Know it will improve my game. Would like to be able to turn off the sound but not an issue.
Needs Bugs Fixed
Lou D'Agostino
I'm only giving it 2 stars because the program misses skewers and forks and incorrectly marks correct forks and skewers as wrong. A major issue in my opinion - otherwise I would have given it 4-5 stars. Pleases fix the bugs. I'd live to up rate the product since its the only App I've found that runs the drills I've been looking for!!
Good for mastering important drills
DeepBlueKiller
Nice app version of Maza’s Concentric Square drills with a little added randomness. Perfect for iPad. I like that the opponent’s follow-up moves are taken into account which requires that you look deeper and recognize the “illusion” patterns that don’t win anything. Scoring can be a bit mysterious sometimes, but it’s not important to me. Would have been nice to know that squares trapping the knight on the edge are counted. The app should be titled “Forks, Skewers, and Traps”, or perhaps simply “Win the Piece”. Overall very nice for improving chess vision and great as a warm-up before a chess game.
Too Many Errors
Arcsterra
I was hoping this app would be great as there are no other chess drills I know of in App Land. But this app misses correct answers and calls them incorrect. It's too bad. The developers should return to the drawing board and refine what would have been a good chess drill. UPDATE. Just figured out that an answer is marked incorrect if the forked,or skewered piece can make a follow-up move to a square that aborts the fork or skewer.
Great app!

One complaint, some moves are marked as wrong inconsistently, I.e. Moves that can be blocked by interposition of the opponents piece, but then can be taken on second move...sometimes these are flagged as good and sometimes wrong, be consistent
Awesome!

I love this. Finally an app to drill vision. So important and often overlooked. My eight year old and I are competing for high score! Thank you!!
