Quick strategy anytime.

I love anytime anywhere practicing these realistic strategies. It’s so rewarding to hear that tight little click for a piece moving. So far I love this app!
Enjoyable - Please fix five things

It was worth it. I just played all 188 games between last night and tonight and as a novice (some intermediate) level experience, I'm glad I made this purchase. Please fix five things: Let me compete against a friend showing side by side times so we know who solved which puzzles faster Save my previous times so I can see my own progress. Make each successive game within each level harder. Some games were just too easy after some tricky ones. It was obvious it was not about my unique experiences playing chess but rather an obvious removal of difficulty. I know certain 'concepts' need to be ingrained but when you have the same setup and the same move for mate, changing only one non involved piece should not qualify it as a 'new game'! Lastly, can you display the instances where I made a mistake but then still found a solution? This would be good in measuring my progress. Thank you!
A bit too easy but still fun

I enjoy this game a lot. Mate in one is pretty easy but it still has value as an end game trainer. Mate in two and four are better but when you just want to play a simple chess puzzle, this one is really good.
Good but needs improved

Mate in ones are so vital. Work on them. The format of this app makes it pretty clumsy. When you solve a puzzle you have to click back to the list scroll down and click the next one! Very cumbersome. With done updates it might be better.

When I started playing Chess everything looked easy but it was sometimes challenging and I hope like it
Good learning tool

Easy to use, gets a player used to looking for that closing move. Ready to move up to Mate in 2 now!
