This app is nearly perfect. I would only like a feature that allows me to start study from a later position in game by importing starting at e.g. move 17. Would have emailed this privately but could not find email. Would be happy to change review to 5 stars.

Awesome app. Has 1000s of openings and various ways to learn and practice. Highly recommend it. The best of its kind.

Where can I get a user guide on how to use this app? It’s clearly powerful but it needs instructions. I’ll improve my review if I can get some help information.
