Once I figured out the replay/restart options, it has become a very good tutorial ...to go back to previous puzzles or to study why the opponent would respond with one move vs. another ~~~😎 intermediate recreational septuagenarian

The good: Nice puzzles. The bad: Pieces move very slowly, no pre moves, no analysis tools.

I'm a elderly beginner. I find the the system easy to use and the problems set at a level that's just about right for my abilities.

Great collection of problems, intuitive interface, and not too many adds in the free version. Decent price makes it worth removing the ads as well. Probably could be more flexible and helpful in analyzing different solutions, but if it would have to affect the simplicity and the price, I would not really worry about it.

As someone who has played chess, but never studied it seriously, I love the puzzles. They are the right level of difficulty and I'm learning some new concepts by replaying them after my initial, bumbling, trial-and-error solve. The app is not beautiful, but that's OK, because it's also no nonsense.

The puzzles are good, but why can't I choose which ones to do? I prefer not to start with the simplest least interesting ones. What is the purpose of locking the more advanced puzzles and making the easy ones a prerequisite? I understand that some might benefit from doing these in sequence, but you don't know who fits this description and it can't possible matter to you if people do the puzzles in one order or another.

Loved the app and the puzzles. However whenever I successfully solve a puzzle it would say " These puzzles are too easy for your rating" and it won't add up any ratings But if I do the puzzle wrong it would subtract about 20 rating Like how is someone supposed to continued playing if no rating is getting added even after solving in first attempt and it just decreases. My highest rating went upto 2142 and then even after solving about 20 puzzles no rating added whatsoever.
