Great learning tool. Very relaxing

This is an excellent program to enjoy playing and learning chess without judging. You can retrace your steps when you made a series of bad or good moves. You can try different options as you play a game. You play against the strength of an opponent up to 1200 on the free app and higher for the pro. Board and piece selection is a fabulous option! You can change the look to increase variety. The app records the number of wins and even provides hints to move which you can compare with the choices you would make. A great app to learn and increase skill and confidence.

Very nice

I’m a beginner and I like how it rates you and gets harder as you get better. I also like that you can go back and learn from your mistakes. The hints are helpful but as a beginner I can’t always follow why the computer’s choice is better than my move. So I just follow the computer’s thinking for a while and then go back to see where my choice would lead me.

Good But

I like the app. There are a few areas where I believe there can be some improvement (1) the computer plays the same response to any particular opening I use and that becomes a bit predictable (2) I think it should be made more challenging. At the moment the ratings go to 1200 and I am there. Why not take it to 2400 more in alignment with international rating systems? (3) some daily chess puzzles might be a nice addition but not necessary (4) being able to save your game for reference later I believe to be important Other than these it’s a very good app

The perfect beginner's app for me

I downloaded a number of free beginning chess apps, but I found the Learn Chess ebook and tChess Lite were the most useful for me, a complete newbie. I've gone from "Huh?" to "Checkmate!" in about ten days and can now play with real people. Thank you, Tom Kerrigan, for such a clear set of instructions and a fun way to practice.

Appreciate

being able to retrace, analyze & try different moves, compare your ideas for moves against the hints. When your decision vs the hint still gets you to check mate, increases confidence:)

The way to become a champion

This is fun, challenging, and it varies the response even with the same set up very smart

One of the better chess matches on iPhone.

The only glitch is that the computer makes the match a draw in four moves if it’s in trouble. But there is no way to make it a draw if you are out of options. So it does cheat a bit in favor of itself. But it’s a really fun game.

Great Game, especially for non-masters

This game is clean with a great interface. I love its simplicity and the engine is fantastic. Definitely worth the download. You won’t regret it.
