Fun, very useful, but primitive – Chess Tactics and Lessons Review

I like this app & often play it as the last thing I do before going to sleep. I’ve played this app regularly for several years. Overall I like it, but there are several things really holding it back: 1. Tactic ratings are highly inflated. I’m rated 2000 in the app, but only around 1350 in real life. 2. En passant captures are too easy to overlook when they are the first move of a tactic, as in it is not obvious enough on the board that en passant is even an option. It’s frustrating to lose points on a puzzle over something dumb like that. 3. Castling, somehow, is not an option at all. 4. Lack of admin power and oversight. There are several regular players who spam the comment boxes of tactics with extreme vulgarity/hatred/racism and somehow they are not banned. These comments will eventually get deleted by admin, but those players of course should be removed completely. Recently, Small Fish chess engine was integrated into the app so that you may see computer suggested moves (...after you have made your own attempt at the tactic). This was a great addition & really helps you explore alternative lines.
