I like the tactics app really much. It is one of the best out there and I tried a lot of them. I have two requests for further improvements. To be able to use the app in landscape mode. And an option to jump quickly to the start or to end of the variation by long pressing the forward or backward button, in the Solution and Analysis view. Maybe by pressing the navigation button by one second or so. Than a quick press on the navigation button would move one move forwards or backward, (like it is now). And a longer press, (one second or so), on the navigation button would jump to the start or to the end of the variation.
Has this suddenly got harder? My scores have plummeted recently. Now my scores are getting lower why aren't the puzzles getting easier? As a chess trainer it's stopped working for me recently when I was previously doing so well. I'm concerned that my brain may be degenerating. (Additional) Thanks for your reply. I decided to uninstall and start again and things seem to be improving, maybe that's psychological. I should have added that this is a great trainer which I've mostly enjoyed
favorite free chess puzzle app i've found yet. i disabled some permissions it doesn't need and it still runs. note: it is looking for the "best" move. if you can mate in 2, it will not accept a mate in 3 senario. very stiff, but still very fun.
The extremely annoying repetition of "wrong move", "wrong move", "wrong move" without giving any hint or clue as to what it considers the right move ruins this app. Even when selecting "Give up?" it still doesn't part with the solution. Not a keeper, this one.
I had better solutions then your puzzle.. in one case I could see mate in two moves, but you said there was a better move.. think not.. Also if I switched out of puzzle to do other things.. It would not return to the same puzzle. No I don't think so.. it was so obvious as to my solution. Tell me how and I will double check.
The Problem i have with this app is that it reduces your Elo points even when you exit the game which is actually quite bad . Even if you do the puzzle correctly in 2 or 3 attempts they count it as a lost puzzle which is again bad .
it's wont you let pick certain pieces to move and the best option to move isn't right and it makes you move pieces to a square that is unprotected
Assume they're idiots. Some solutions to puzzles assume that the opponent is bad ad chess and I lose 15 points for making a bad move.
Variety of chess puzzles as per ELO fluctuations. No hint provided is a weakness. You got to solve yourself.
I have Fun Chess puzzles Pro Tactics but I can't download The latest Version of Fun Chess Puzzles Pro Tactics and I can't rate it. Who can help me
Best than any chess puzzle on playstore. My only advice is mate puzzle should not be more than 5 move
Give a lot of fun spacially solving puzzles with a lot of variations
really a good help for the beginners to improve..
The repetition of solving these puzzles truly hones my game.
Wait, what??? Tells me wrong move no matter where I go...really??? Can't learn anything that way!!!
Please add new feature: 1) play chess with computer.
Best app to improve your chess skill
I can play against engines and I can analyze my games using stockfish with arrow?
Err I want to tell this I already do checkmate but it says I am wrong can u fix that? Or am I doing wrong
One of my favourite application ever ☺️
Riddled with poor solutions, look elsewhere
Pretty good for a free app
I have learned so much from this app. It's free, too!
There are better programs out there
It is not coming to play with friends
best aap for chess puzzle
Very pleased with this carefully-written app. Great graphics and a wide selection of puzzles (4,823 in the free version). Can be used offline. The puzzles' difficulty goes up or down according to whether you solve them or not. Also very good is the ability to review a puzzle at the end, solved or not. The app downloads Stockfish 10 to further analyse the position. Improvements? A later edition of Stockfish, and perhaps the option to choose puzzles by theme.
