LEARNING FUNCTIONS: “A TRAINER AT YOUR FINGERTIPS”
With Chessapps, the use of chess puzzles takes on a new dimension. It’s not only about solving the first move, but you are going to be asked to find the complete solution, simulating a real game and even activating a chess clock. For years this was the preferred training method of the Soviet school, now at your service in ChessApps.

What a great idea! If you're like most people and find it very difficult to try to follow a game you're reading about, and wish there was someone showing you the moves on a board as you were reading, then this app is for you! The library of available books is not all that large yet, but hopefully this will change in the future. The free offerings I've looked at so far are of very good quality, with lots of alternative lines analyzed/evaluated. Overall, a very nice app that any serious student of chess is sure to find a valuable tool for exploring the game and expanding their knowledge thereof. Highly recommended.
