Comments on Chess School for Beginners for Android

★★★★★ Robert Andreo · Mar 2, 2019

This is a very fine introductory chess app for beginners and novices, adults and children. The text (theory) is well written with concise graphics and examples, and the practical exercises are valuable applications of the text. The app designers are clearly knowledgeable and experienced chess players.

★★★★☆ Ryan Decker · Oct 2, 2018

Helps me think more and see things in a more tactical way. Not just for kids.

★★★★☆ Trevor Garland · May 5, 2020

Great combination of theory and animated exercises. For fifty years I have always been at best a beginner because I did not know where to start learning. I took up GO because I could not do justice to Chess. This app is the guide I have been seeking. Sometimes I am not clear what the exercise expects me to do, but so far it is patient with me, and I am learning the concepts of tactical moves.

★☆☆☆☆ Curtis Olson · Dec 29, 2020

It's garbage, asking you questions without telling you anything, not worth your time I like chess and want to learn more and this definitely isn't the way to do it. Try moving pieces, and it tells you are wrong, then does the exact same move and says it's the correct move. Asks questions about jargon and doesn't tell you before testing you...

★☆☆☆☆ Pete Ansbro · Feb 25, 2021

This is the app with only limited navigation. This is the free app which has more ads than chess pieces. This is the app with learning on the various chess pieces which can only be accessed through payment. So yes it's free: but just not very good.

★★☆☆☆ Apostle Monica Brooks · Apr 11, 2019

Doesn't really show you how to play as a beginner. Gonna look for another app. If you get a question/ move wrong it doesn't matter because it doesn't tell you how to fix it. It just moves on 🤔😒

★☆☆☆☆ Use Your Brain They Live · May 25, 2020

Moves not explained so no good. It started off well enough but then turns into a farce as it asks how many moves it takes to move a certain piece to a certain place. How is a beginner meant to know with zero explanation? Disappointed and uninstalled. A shame because it started so promising. Fix this and it would be really good.
