[2012-09-19] Jobin: Good collection Very valuable puzzles that don't just concentrate on checkmates. It improved my chess strength considerably. It is a good app to have if you are stuck somewhere with nothing else to do. You should also install `Analyze This` which is another app from the same developer, which will help understand some of the puzzles. Alternate solutions with a different sequence of moves are not rewarded and there are some bugs related to scoring; otherwise great app. |

[2012-09-16] kyle: Awesome very good for chess fans |
|
[2012-09-13] Neil: Best Chess Puzzle Ap Great interface, easy to use. One of my favorite aps. |
|
[2012-09-11] Joseph: Great app! A ton of great puzzles! It definitely can help beginners and can give masters some entertainment. However, I tried the send screenshot feature but it didn't work, maybe it is just my phone. |
|
[2012-09-01] Xavier: Amazing Its a great and functional training tool, if it could only use a base training method like the seven circle of De la Mazza would be of incredible help! |
|
[2012-07-17] Satvik: Wonderful Awesome app, has me hooked. Has definitely.helped me improve my chess. A must for any chess lover |
|
[2012-07-08] Elliott: A good start but not quite there I solved many of the puzzles in fewer moves then the way it specified, REALLY ANNOYING |
|
[2012-07-02] Julian: Advertisements UI advertisements cover the bottom buttons |
|
[2012-06-30] Krisztian: icon change icon please |
|
[2012-06-30] vadimv: Excellent Very good for brain gymnastics |
|
[2012-06-28] Rudy: ICHESS Simplicity of moving pieces, and good board design... |
|
[2012-06-22] Pramit: Good app but..... Where's the reset button???? |
|
[2012-06-21] Discord: Should support more than 1 solution I mated in one move, it said i failed. About 15 percent of the riddles have such mistakes. Other than that, good app. |
|
[2012-06-18] Dang Doan: Goog learning tool The interface is simple, well designed. This app is helpful for tactical practice. Thanks dev. |
|
[2012-06-18] KCC: Fantastic. Those complaining about problem solutions ending reached abruptly should play on a few more moves on a chessboard or on another app, to prove that a winning position has in fact been reached. |
|
[2012-06-11] Kennedy: Great App I used to practices at chess tempo. When i got inducted into Android family, i searched for a tactics interface. This gave me all that chess tempo offers. I strongly recommend it for all would be GMs |
|
[2012-06-03] Kodanshi: p00 out of 10. Force closes as soon as I select the icon to start it. Uninstalled! |
|
[2012-05-13] SURAJ: Best application of chess I ever seen!!! Must hav application !!! But it need to be more userfriendly !!also some of the solutions aren't adequate!!! |
|
[2012-05-06] Ian: Well done Great tool for training yourself to recognize positions and gain an edge against opponents. |
|
[2012-04-30] Steve: Great 5 stars |
|
[2012-04-17] Alexandr: Some solutions are not clear Some puzzles have not got clear solution. You push "analyze" in the hope of an elegant mate. First move, second, without threat. Suddenly a sign "black wins"! Why? ... And, could you change the icon, please? |
|
[2012-04-08] Андрій: Like this app. |
|
[2012-03-24] Timotius: Great job! Great both to sharpen tactical instinct and to train analytical skill. However, the evaluation will be more objective if it considers other answers which are as good as (or, even better than) the default move. |
|
[2012-03-18] Matt: Good concept but needs improvement I like the idea for this app and find it useful but the problems could use some improvement. There are some good problems but most seem to be random moves. The moves it looks for are rarely the best moves to make. |
|
[2012-01-23] Cesar: Good moves To be learned |
|
[2012-01-11] Ilya: 2300uscf Good board and design but the problem quality desires to be better. Biggest flaw that the correct answer only involves half a move and then it moves on to the next, to finish the problem u actually have to go back, very annoying. |
|
[2011-12-11] Dimitar: Great app Great! Great app! |
|
[2011-12-10] Ian: Not bad, but needs more. I love solving the puzzles, but it is not acceptable to say "white wins" and nothing else when there are 20 possible moves left on the board. |
|
[2011-12-08] Anonymous: Great program. Really addicting. |
|
[2011-12-08] Michalis: Very cool program! |

|
[2011-10-24] Amit: Great app! Well done buddy :) |
|
[2011-10-24] Brandon: Why does it say solved after the first move? I have no idea what comes after until I go back |
|
[2011-10-01] Sav: Excellent Great job buddy |
|
[2011-09-09] david: Y illegal moves need to be made unplayable |
|
[2011-09-06] benson: Ben Great app but not possible to revisit puzzles which is vital in learning chess |
|
[2011-09-02] Rebecca: The ads block the next and hint buttons. |
|
[2011-08-22] Lars: Does not end in mate? What‘s the point then? You would need more detailed answers/follow-ups |
|
