Loved this app. I was a complete beginner, never having played a game before. The instructions I got here helped me win 3 games at beginner level within two days of starting. Those three games were played outside the app, by the way, without hints. And it is a calm and comforting game, especially with Dr Wolf's voice as the instructor. Loved the aesthetics too. Transports me to some quaint castle with a jovial and wise chess master, ready to teach me how to play. Lovely game.

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

Such a lovely app. It's just so beautifully designed. But I have to pay to do absolutely anything in this app... I thought lessons would be free at least. I mean that's the main feature of this app. Would be better if advanced level lessons are paid and up till there it's free. Not like the prices are cheap, nor is it like it's a one time payment. I have to pay every month. I can't afford to pay so much as a student and will have to uninstall.
