Ratings and reviews

This app would be much better if it doesn't check the Licence everytime we open the app. Also the front and back button is too small and is annoying to handle. And, Last but not least, in the opening section, there is no opening names on top of the board, it would be very helpful if it shows the opening name, that way we could research more about the position with the references and such. Thanks !

Openings need variation names! Forward and back buttons too close! Need more annotated games! Need to be quicker about uploading past games. My opponent played a game 2 months ago and he is a 2150...it is not on the chessbase app. You should have more chess learning and training tools here! Label the buttons! Make the search function have more parameters such as searching for all games by so and so with the Keres Attack. YOU HAVE TO ADD DETAILED VARIATION NAMES! Otherwise a good program.

You are making the search difficult, I don't know what kind of database that does not even record a world championship matches(classical). Or maybe it's too hard to look for them? ...Update: Though search is difficult, developer has replied my message and provided and/or updated all major games to the app.. hopefully you can keep going with the good work.. giving you one more star
