Ratings and Reviews
Versatile app, appropriately requires work by the user
This is a very good concept for conveying chess training from experts to all levels of players. It essentially combines a book reader and ability to bookmark, a demonstration board to walk through the coursework, and a scratch board with an analysis engine against which one can play.
The courses are high quality and they existed before the app. In other words, this app is the medium that conveys tested and proven chess training courses, and it does it well.
It takes time to get used to its idiosyncrasies but the effort is worth it. The course material typically take effort to grasp, and that simply is a requirement for learning chess.
What’s the reasoning?
I am a longtime beginner. I have read books by Bobby Fischer on the approach to chess from a beginners perspective, which assigned the numerical values to the pieces. Pawn being lowest & Queen the highest. His attack strategy was capturing higher value pieces while sacrificing lower value pieces with the ultimate goal of placing a king in check that he cannot escape from ( checkmate). These exercises do little to teach one chess strategies because they do not explain these strategies. They simply tell you that it’s your move and what they want you to aaccomplish. So you make a wrong move say in the strategy of playing for advantage; all of these arrows appear( supposedly to guide your movement) but when you follow the arrows you are told that is an erroneous move! What’s the reasoning with the arrows then? It’s very confusing and frustrating. So then you guess, but invariably are wrong with your guess. Finally it shows the move you should have made, but there is no reason or explanation given other than the history of that particular maneuver in a match at some time in the history of match play! It might be elegant but you don’t ever understand how it came about? Maybe you should quit with the arrows and guide better!
Developer Response ,
Hi chesscrap! There are 2 parts in the lessons, theory and practice. The theory part tells you all you need to know in words, and the practice part tests your understanding. Some lessons have more theory, some have more practice. You can test each course with the 10% or 20% open material. If you want, you can subscribe to any option (for example all courses 1 month), and check out all of them, and choose which one you want to buy. You can cancel the subscription within 3 days and you will not be charged for it.
Excellent teacher
I am not a good chess player. I started playing when I was around 11 years old. but never worked at improving periodically when I was at college, I also would play but again never practiced or did chess problems. I am now a senior citizen and have time to do lots and lots of chess problems on various apps. This app is the best for getting me to understand some fairly sophisticated combinations. as I get better, the problems get harder. I hardly recommend this app. I don’t know enough to recommend their online program.
