Good practice
Dad in WA
These nice little challenges help me improve my game. A good mixture for me of easy and hard chess puzzles.
2stars only because it’s free!

Abrupt quits are frequent, and the solver can’t produce hints or solutions for any of the mate-in-7 problems. So it’s good for all the problems up to mate in 6, which is good enough practice. It’s entirely possible that more powerful iPhones will support this app completely, so if you have an 8 or higher give it a try!
Chess for the thinker

This is an amazing look into crafty moves that made me think and scratch my head like no other book, app, or online lesson on the topic of chess. Thank you!
Good checkmate puzzles

Good interface, plenty of puzzles...some options are vague though and some puzzles have been proven unsolvable with modern computers. Still, overall this is a good way to practice mating patterns on the go.
Great!

I do a lot of tactics training on various websites and one specific app. These tactics are superior without question! The other tactics are usually computer generated. If you look at those other tactical puzzles you'll realize that you are being trained on tactics that you will almost never use because the average player who needs a tactic trainer to move up the class D and C levels won't be playing opponents who put themselves in such positions. Kudos to the Memphis CC for all the work it took to record, compile, and produce the material so this book and app could be created! :-) Keep 'em coming!!
Great trainer !

I challenge myself to get it right on the first try - to think as if Im really playing.
Excellent!

I like these much better than 'composed' problems, as these are based on actual games. There are some, however, which, after I've given up, the iPhone is unable to solve and displays a message to that effect, and when I play through the text solution, the problem makes no sense - lots of unforced moves and plenty of ways to avoid mate within the given number of moves. Other than that, this, together with the other set of puzzles from MCC, is great. I'm up to about 60% success with mate in six, which seemed impossible when I started. Many hours of enjoyment, highly recommended!
