Reviews

Very good layout, could combine some sets.

Very well thought UI, and the method of presentation will teach you what you need to learn as long as you honestly follow the steps the way they are given, and on a regular basis. I have used several ‘full’ versions of sets, & feel that some of them could be comined into one set for the topic that was given the set, instead of creating more sets than necessary.

Finally!

Outstanding Collection

Simply the best chess training materials available on iOS. I have waited for years for these on my phone and am very pleased with all the apps.

A bit sluggish. Does the job
abedzaza

It lags while transitioning to the next puzzle, and no Gestures integration. Id like to swipe back and forth between puzzles for example. Much better than reaching out for the "Next" button on top of the screen, particularly on larger displays

The best so far ...

1) sample shows how well the program performs; 2) app allows playing the position vs. computer - which is essential & missing from other apps; 3) large # of exercises; and 4) good setting variations.
