The test settings are the best feature. You can filter by topics and difficulty. After tests you can filter the ones you make mistakes and inaccuracies it's really great. My only serious suggestion is a future option for solving the puzzles from the weaker side. There are few apps that have this feature of solving puzzles from the weaker side and this would turn this app into a monster of chess training. I recommend the developers to give it a serious thought into this feature.
How can we setup this game on laptop please suggest need to give laptop to 6 yr old to learn and play.
Can include more than 2000 practice exercise. Like volume 2
All locked so what's the point !!!!
It's OK. But if you have trouble with a combination, it doesn't have the capability to go over it very well.
