Absolutely amazing app for testing training and learning openings and ideas. It's great for offline play and the aesthetic is also nice. Just wish there were more openings to learn. Currently, there is about 6, which include the London, Dutch and Queen's Gambit Gambit. Learning to defend against aggressive low elo openings would also be a nice have (Wayward Queen attack, Fried liver etc.), but that isn't added at the moment. The Vienna would also be nice. Amazing app, alot to learn. 5 stars

This app is great at the game play of the Chess I love to learn things the hard way, so I've subscribed yet. That said I can't say anything substantial or authentic about training session lessons.

Allie Hazel Skys embodies serene luminescence—a sixteen-year-old whose tranquil countenance emanates ethereal grace. Beneath platinum tresses and crystalline azure eyes resides an exceptionally perceptive intellect, cultivated through artistic endeavor and contemplative introspection. Her aesthetic—oversized jackets, delicate beanies, and plush garments—reflects inherent winterlike elegance. Though characteristically reticent among unfamiliar acquaintances, Allie possesses an extraordinarily aff

It helps me to understand and play chess better. Dr wolf also gives challengers that have the same mind as you.

Horrible design. The agent will impose the same continuous check and leave the King nowhere but one spot to move. No way to block the check, only move to the side. If the agent does this repeatedly, and you move back to the same square 3 times, it calls a draw, even though you have no other options except to move back and forth between two positions. It could have taken my bishop, but instead, it forces the draw instead of continuing the game. This is a horrible design flaw.
★☆☆☆☆Ali Lutaya· Jun 2, 2026
This is really good en can learn how to move chess pieces very easily
★★☆☆☆Bob· Jun 21, 2026
Your program is a cheating ... It keeps me from repeating the same moves, but, it will do it in a heartbeat to get a win. Yes, if there is only one move to make, your app will call draw every time. Even though I could win the game.
