Dr. Wolf's coaching method is both encouraging and effective for beginners. It offers foundational chess learning tools like undoing moves, hints, and advice on best choices, all optional. Post-game, it reviews mistakes, transforming them into learning opportunities by demonstrating missteps and encouraging better solutions. I'm genuinely impressed by this application's approach to teaching chess.

Amazing free app. Has an easy interface, lots of tutorials for beginners, with puzzles to illustrate learning points (opening fundamentals, defending, attacking etc). I taught my kids chess with storytime chess, then followed up with this app which I loaded on my phone and kid tablets. Now all they want to do is play chess!

I'm extremely impressed with how the lessons are laid out, and taught. After not playing for 40 years, it was great to see if I could grasp it again at all. The algorithm is intuitive to the player. I left off one star due to the price. For an app that doesn't require frequent updates, have the same level of tech as a photo, video, or AI app, but costs the same is not reasonable to me.
