Loved it

Demo ver is short, but its very good.

Perfect practice on the go

This is a great way to get a few more practice cycles in while waiting for your wife in the grocery store.

Excellent!

1. Love the Boston terrier 2. My chess is improving 3. Love to take a work break and just look at 1 tactic! 4. I play on the bus.

I like it!

Ok now

Ok, I finished the packs that I liked and when I reset in order to re-solve them, some (including my favorites) are no longer available and it wont even let me buy them again?! Update: Never mind, I just deleted and reinstalled and everything is fine. It gave me everything back.

Ok but ...

I enjoyed the limited free problems but after paying for content i am dissapointed as it is buggy. Leaving pieces on the board between problems that are not supposed to be there and acting odd after pawn promotions. Must i uninstall and reinstall to replay the free problems?

One of the best training chess games to on enhance your game

Very disappointed , hidden fees

Dont be fooled , the app only comes with 50 easy problems. You will have to purchase the each additional pack. Not worth the price, will be $30 - $40 before you are done.

Tons of potential but bugs

The app has the ability to be fantastic!! But it has a lot of bugs for now.. Pieces on board when there are not supposed to be .. Or no pieces on board at all .. I hope they get a patch out soon Ive got a couple paid upgrades that are awesome!!!!

Great app!!!

Chess trainer is really good!!!

Good app

Definitely helps playing skills of the novice.

Do not use. Will make you more dumb.

I give this App zero stars its not even worth one star. However they make you pick at least one. It wasnt even worth the ten mins it took me to complete it. There are very severe bugs in this app. Many of the solutions have multiple ways of solving in equal or less moves while better protecting your pieces. Multiple scenarios give you mate where the king or other pieces can easily block or defend and change the tide against the attacker drastically. Do not use this if you are a novice, want to improve, or just want interesting scenarios. This is a very sloppy and poor excuse for a chess app.

Sloppy programming and poor design

This app is loaded with bugs. It will give you a blank board sometimes and force you to resign. There are frequently multiple winning lines, but you get a huge penalty for picking the wrong winning move. Several times Ive broken 2000 where youre getting 3 points for a solution, and been met with a blank board costing me 34-45 points. DO NOT BUY THIS APP! Ive had it for months and they still havent fixed it.

Fix the bugs

Fix the bugs: empty boards and pieces that are displayed that really arent there

Waoooo

Really love this app. I will recommend it anytime, every time. My only problem is that I find it difficult t buy the new lessons that came with the December update.

This is the best chess app I own. Wish it was available on my Samsung galaxy tab too. Hope the d4 openings come out soon under the new Learn tab.

In app purchased packs vanished after the upgrade. How to get it back ???

I had purchased In App Packs.....After the app upgrade...those purchased packs did not show up. Please fix the issue...

Money hungry?

I was looking forward to learning a bunch of new things about chess until I learned that you only get the first lesson in each section. The rest of the lessons cost a dollar. They shouldve just made the app cost $1, instead of taunting you with the idea that its free. Very disappointed with this app and about to delete it.

Solid App.

Good app until the last update ruined it. All it does now is crash. After a single chess problem! Not sure why it hasnt been fixed, but until it is, it is like buying something that is broken.

Excellent

Extremely helpful and interactive! Now I know how to play chess!
