Amazingly well done app. It uses your own personal games to train you, remembering your blunders as problems to solve later. When you make a mistake, they will point it out and sometimes even flip the board so you have the chance to discover the mistake you made. So far it's been the most effective strategy for me to graduate from beginner to (almost) intermediate

This is the best app for anyone wanting to learn chess. I've downloaded several apps, but this one has the best AI coach. I've learned a lot from the tutorials and guided play. However, after three guided sessions with the AI coach, you need to pay for the premium version. It’s not very expensive, but if you're saving money, the free version is still good and educational. This app is a great starting point for learning chess, and I highly recommend it.

I used the app a year ago, then stopped. Now, as I returned to it, I found that one of the most useful features, 'explore from here', is gone. It often helped me understand why a move was good or bad. Now all I'm left with is a vague 'a blunder', 'regrettable' or 'precisely'. Had I known this, I would not have renewed my subscription.
