2017-12-22	Ag*****	Hi all, This app is excellent. The chess problems are actual problems that have been previously posted in magazines, newspapers, forums etc and have all been compiled into this app. The solutions are not always obvious, and as such, a computer may have a difficult time finding the correct move to get to mate (which is generally a very quiet move, or not a move you'd look at right away). With that being said, the solutions are written in TEXT form and are always correct. The computer doesn't refer to the text solution - it just tries to solve it (brute force) and sometimes it is wrong. Don't blame the limitations of the hardware. Every single line is written out in each of the solutions, and each solution leads to mate. If you pick up algebraic notation you'll quickly understand what I'm talking about.

The solution that the game gave me didn't seem right, so I plugged the setup into a chess program. Sure enough It was a mate in 4. This was just the first puzzle in the bunch. This doesn't speak good for the app.

I after a long time of killing yourself to find the answer you give up and have the machine tell you the answer you get a message that there is no solution... Also so many with solutions that are wrong. .i ran some questionable puzzles, bc i notice a few had spite moves which meant it was not mate in three, and i ran them in shredder to verify, and sure enough, they were not mate in three.
