Eh – Magnus Trainer - Train Chess Review

The app teaches chess in a format that allows people to carry over what they learn over to real games relatively easy, which I like. It gives a good bearing on fundamentals and basics and is overall a great app to learn from. However, I have to rate it two stars because of how the course path is horribly set up. You can’t skip through lessons that you don’t need to learn, so if you want to continue you have to suffer through learning what you already knew. But most importantly, the Raja’s riddle game needs serious tweaking. Some of the puzzles can be solved in multiple ways but the app only recognizes one. Furthermore, if you choose the wrong motif/mate, it doesn’t let you see the right answer, which holds back learning more than anything. Lastly, it’s stupid that you can’t skip the games in the lessons when it never tells you the right answers so you can learn anyway.
