It would be great to actually play chess, after learning so much. All in the same app. P.s. if i could change the appearance of the characters, way more important than the colors of the squares.

This is a good set of Chess puzzles for practice. It interfaces well with Analyze This. Support is fast, prompt, and responsive... oh, and they fix problems quickly. [09-24-16] New board isn't as nice and is smaller.

Update :it's broken ever since I updated to miui 8. After I make a move the screen changes to game selection menu and then the game restarts. Please look into it. .....................old review... it's absolutely the best chess related game I've ever had. The insight it provides is not possible any other way. Have it on all my devices. This plus Analyze This. Thanks for making it.

I loved this app but it stops working now, especially when checks are included in the situation. Also during a tactic there are specific moves which makes the app stop working. When re-doing the tactic, again, it stops working during the specific move(s). Please, the app-developer, reply to this and help me.

I liked the older version better. Before I was able to see other possibilities, or as to why a move wasn't good, but it doesn't show it.

If you don't install the app, Analyze This, then the iChess Free program cannot reply to your second best moves with the message, "Good move, but please try again and look for a better one!" This particular function of the program is still not 'calibrated' as it should be. Consequently there are two ways the iChess Free program fails to function correctly in cooperation with the app, Analyze This. #1: Some ALTs are not recognized or they are recognized inconsistently. #2: Undeserving moves are credited.

Chess Puzzles - iChess Free is a wonderful Chess study tool for serious Chessplayers. I am using some of the pgn files that I have collected over the years from the Internet and iChess works like a charm. iChess free is a good Chess study tool for beginners to Master level players. I am practicing with both tactics and endgame pgn files. Works great for me.

I only wish it offered explanations sometimes. However, that would take a lot of time given the number of puzzles, so 5 stars nonetheless.

But wish it explained why the best move is the best move. Some are obviously the best moves, others, not so much.

It works like a charm! I'm considering to buy the pro version, but I need to know what's good about buying it

Great app for keeping your brain working. The only problem is that after recent update it started mixing icons for purchased sets (icons are changing every time main app screen is displayed) , which makes visual finding of a set to play challenging. I will not drop a star for this. As a developer, I know that sometimes things happen. Hint: this problem happens only after changing the sorting and persists until restart of the app. It looks like after restart the icons come back to proper places again.
