Great for a dedicated beginner. It's NOT just an intro and IS difficult enough to give a solid base from which to play the game well.

Good app, very instructive with didactive structure. I found about a dozen cases containing errors (imho), unfortunately I could only find a general feedback option, not a specific one for each "riddle". But all inall, very recommendable.

Q70%
by Q####:

In the exercise about square names, h3 is highlighted in three questions, but is only the correct answer once. The other two times I'm told that the correct answer is e2 or e8. Thanks for your attention on this.

Q70%
by Q####:

What's with exercise #74? The refutation if not the entire exercise is clearly broken. Why would I stop moving the g file pawn toward the end of the board and start moving my king instead???

K70%
by K####:

I'll buy a book instead. Ok implementation but you soon find out only 25 percent of the course is free and you have to pay $4 to complete this course. Since this is a series I checked the others out and they are more expensive.
