User Reviews

Users praise the app for challenging, skill-building puzzles and an ad-free, enjoyable experience. However, multiple reviews note recurring issues with puzzle variety (reliance on queen sacrifices), occasional bugs, unrealistic setups, and some overly hard puzzles. The app is strong for practice and motivation but could improve by expanding puzzle diversity and stabilizing bugs.

Pros

Puzzles are challenging with a good range of difficulties that help improve chess skills and pattern recognition.
Puzzles are fun and engaging; great for passing time.
Ad-free experience with free puzzles and non-pushy monetization.
Helpful for practicing chess scenarios without the distraction of a full game.

Cons

Some puzzles rely on repetitive queen sacrifices and mate-in-2/3, reducing variety.
Occasional bugs in puzzles that stall progress or have incorrect/unsolvable states.
Unrealistic puzzle setups (e.g., many queens) that detract from realism.
A portion of puzzles are very hard and may be discouraging.

A good set of puzzles to improve accuracy

by Ma*****, 2026-07-23

There are puzzles in this app that are definitely different the the average chess puzzle app in the store. At least the ones I’ve played so far. I’m probably being a bit subtle here. It’s a good thing. I wish there was a reset puzzle option. I’m one for the problem you’re currently playing and one for the category section. It’d make replaying a puzzle more efficient.
