★★★★★ HIDEO MIT UNS · Aug 31, 2021
I honestly believe getting 95 percent at good speed in :capture 1, 2, mate in 1, 2 and elementary tactics 1 and 2 with this defense puzzle set included from chess king will easily put anyone at 1200
★★★★★ Jim Hoffman · Nov 2, 2021
These are chess puzzles. They are challenging at first but after a while you will see patterns and the solutions become easier and faster. That what chess is, recognizing patterns that your opponent doesn't see. I am very pleased with this app. I work with it every day.
