Comments:
The puzzles are great, but I always have to start from the first one and tap the right arrow X times to get to the next unsolved one. I have a Chess King account and I'm logged in, but this doesn't help. I'm considering buying the paid version, but the thought of having to tap the arrow key dozens or hundreds of times to get to the next unsolved one (and having to remember the number of the last solved one) is kind of off-putting :(( Or did I miss something here?
An absolute need for every tournament player. How many books and apps are published for combinations and attacks? What about defense?! Mating attacks and combinations are attractive, but accurate defense gives you more rating rise!
Normally, beginners concentrate on attack only. This app will definitely develop the sense of Defence , which is a must for further improvement in their games.
A little bit frustrating in that a lot of the puzzles only accept the BEST solution instead of a GOOD solution, but a decent challenge nonetheless.
A good defense will more often than not unleash an offence which your opponent can handle. The puzzles here will help one to improve his skills.'
