★★★★★A_lonely_moderate· May 20, 2023
Good exercises, decent amount for free, there are ads, but they're not very intrusive. A substantial improvement from computer generated puzzles.
★★★★★Kip Dole· Jan 2, 2018
Chess Kings apps are the best Chess applications I have seen.
★★★★★HIDEO MIT UNS· Aug 24, 2021
It's called "elementary" but anyone under 1400 FIDE or 1600 online rating will greatly improve with this set. For lower rated players like myself, I get to practice quick pattern recognition initially by doing it in chapters (for instance pawn forks only, bishop pins only) At higher levels by randomizing, it can test your tactical vision. There is a huge difference in "spot the discovered check vs White to play and win". I will come back to this set many times for the next 2 years
★★★★★Lavontay Love· Oct 4, 2018
These courses will make you a chess champion in no time all are tactics to sharpen your game to the next level
★☆☆☆☆Daniel Dimitrov· May 9, 2019
Boring. The first 10 minutes I just moved a pawn, then just a horse.
★★☆☆☆Ron Stone· Dec 1, 2021
Needs to rate my moves, better or worse, not to just say I'm in error.
