Ratings and reviews

Would give 4.5 if I could. Love the daily new problems and no intrusive ads. The only improvements I can think of (from my low intermediate perspective) would be showing all the captured pieces, and not assuming "Solved" until I actually finish solving it. Both could be as an option, in case I'm the only one that wants these.

What I like is that the puzzles seem hand-picked or perhaps hand-crafted. Occasionally this means there's a good move (one that wins +3 according to the engine) but there's a better one that wins the game much more convincingly (say +10). Those are situations where if you see a good move, you should look for a better one. It also means that you'll have a fulfilling ending to your puzzle (unlike lichess' puzzles that sometimes leave your thinking: now what?)

Excellent App. Been playing this for over a year. Sometimes I go a couple days without playing, other times I may play up to 10 or 15 puzzles a day. Wish I had this when I was younger and more active in chess and tournaments. Tactics can make a huge difference between being being a Class A player or a strong Expert. Or an Expert and a Master. If you have a good position, learn how to convert it into a quick, decisive win. I like the progress feature, where you watch your rating grow.
