Ratings and reviews

Fantastic app! Great functionality. I have it set to stop after each puzzle. Even when I get the puzzle correct, I can play from that position OR and this is BIG, I can go back and play a different move, play a game from that position and discover why a different candidate move would be wrong. For those new to problems, there is an easy mode. Another great freature is you have a setting for spaced repetition on problems you miss. That means they will appear now and then so you can learn them.

Entertaining, no adds or purchases. Requires brain power. Some puzzles are a little.... counter intuitive due to the fact that the game ends when you get the pieces to where the game wants them, not necessarily where they would be a better position for your pieces. So it may take a min or so to play around and eventually make an unsatisfactory trade or movement. The point of the puzzles isn't checkmate, but to constantly pursue a check.

It's simple, minimalist, and has everything a beginner may need. I've watched myself grow from a shakey 1100 to a 1700s, at present. Quick & obvious tips: if you feel like a puzzle ended too quickly, just go back and turn on analysis to see the rest. If you particularly feel like practicing a puzzle, you can play the computer from that point on. You can also revisit old levels by swiping on the analysis board.
