Great app, lessons are designed into bite-sized pieces in a progressive curriculum (i.e., Lesson 1, Lesson 2, etc.) Unfortunately the drills are buggy, and much of the new content added over the years (lessons on tactics, strategy, calculation, etc) is missing from the curriculum and completely disorganized. Would love to see this content incorporated into the curriculum. Should be an easy fix for the developers... though looks like the app hasnt been updated in years...

This app has a lot of potential. I love that you begin by assessing your strength so you can skip basics and fundamentals if you already know them. However, the app falls far short of being worth downloading because 95%+ of the lessons are not available without paying for a membership. I was surprised at how few lessons I could actually complete. The two (yes, TWO) lessons I could complete were great, but the rest are locked. Uninstalled.

I really appreciate how this app tries to teach you moves and how to play. But i think it's seriously frustrating that the challenges are timed. I constantly fail because I don't have time to analyze the pieces and positions to determine where to move what in the amount of time. I didn't sign up for speed chess. I want to learn first. Please make it optional for it to be timed.

Hi! I understand your frustration very well. Your suggestion of making the time-mode optional is great. I'll pass it over to the dev team. Thank you for the review! - Sebastian
