| 2024-07-11 |  | | It's a good app, teaches various aspects of opening structures and tactics. |
| 2023-12-21 |  | | I have noticed a significant improvement in my chess opening play, since using this app. I started at around 1100 rating and now my rating averages are btw 1700 and 1800 on this app. I must say that I do understand the game of Chess a lot better. This did not happen overnight I have been using this app for at least 2yrs. on a off and on basics. |
| 2023-12-13 |  | | The program sets a prepared board of a game in progress before walking the player through a prescribed set of moves. A player is allowed two mistakes before the program provides the answer. It provides hints after each mistake and a grade after each puzzle is completed. I run a few boards worth of puzzles and make sure to look for the 'aha' moment. It does not happen often, but it is a thrill when it does. Mostly I am happy when I remember the combination of moves without being corrected. |
| 2023-10-07 |  | | I am enjoying the training. I want to reset all app rating below 1300 and start all. I can reset the but only exercises done mark gets cleared.how to do.. |
| 2022-06-28 |  | | Is it just me or isn't a lot of this material 20+ years out of date if not just flat out wrong? They talk about long lines that no one ever plays as if they're the main lines and neglect to talk about the most played lines. There's a lot of info there and I'm sure some of it is useful but after finding enough of the opening advice provably wrong, I ran out of trust and if I need to be double checking every claim made against databases then I don't know what use it is |
| 2022-05-31 |  | | This covers alot of what you will see in openings and you can get alot out of it, but it takes time to digest the vast amount it covers. Its been a great aid to my chess and developing my pieces in the right way. Highly recommmend! |
| 2022-01-28 |  | | It really makes chess easy to understand. The theory and practical very excellent for sharpening chess skills. |
| 2021-10-23 |  | | It is much more better than other chess king serieses but comparatively low price. Thanks to the builders who put lot of efforts. |
| 2021-08-19 |  | | Not the perfect opening manual as described and nit free either. The only free component is just a small part and doesn't include important opening, while the rest are paid and quite expensive too! |
| 2021-06-27 |  | | This is the chess openings trainer I've been looking for. It has the standard openings with commentary. Suggestion for improvement would be to view the standard openings from Black's primary perspective as well. |
