Best app to practice openings
Thu Aug 01 2024 George M. A.Awesome interface! You can instantly see which opening moves result in game wins, and conveniently practice the numerous variations. One of my favorite features is that you can see and replay games by chess masters using each opening. I’ve been playing chess for decades, and this app helped me “get” the openings in a few weeks better than any other training or coaching over the years! Well done to the developers! Hope they keep the app going.
Fine app for exploring openings
Sun Mar 21 2021 david_kreisbergMy favorite features of this app are being able to see the relative strength of moves will looking at an opening and being able to easily access and replay grandmaster games using openings and their variations. The Arkon app is also quite good, but it is annoying that it doesn’t support landscape mode on an iPad.
Simple and Sweet
Thu Mar 11 2021 Full stepThis inexpensive program is simple but effective! Enter an opening line and get a list of strong GM games that followed the line. See how strong GM’s won, lost and drew starting from that position.
I love this app, but current version...
Mon Sep 10 2018 MrPisanelloFor some reason when I go to “Games with this position” and choose any of the games, they are all games in the wrong position! This was working about a week ago, I think something went wrong in the last update. Again, thank you for your work on this app, and I’m hoping you can address this bug fix soon — happy to review again once fixed!
Opening suggester
Sun Feb 07 2021 Kneem1Everything about the app is good, but there should be an option to suggest an opening to be put into the app. I don’t know if it’s missing any other opening, but it is missing the kloosterboer gambit.
Very helpful!
Wed Sep 25 2019 Nomad16I have to admit that I am finding this app very useful in helping me learn chess openings. Makes learn fun by giving you the options and letting you explore!
Continueing a line
Wed Aug 22 2018 CubNobleI like the app, but if I’m doing opening prep for a game, why does it show there are 100+ games in the database then just stop showing the breakdown to the point where I cant move any pieces. I’ve resorted to using other apps for tournament prep.
Not an intuitive app!
Wed Nov 25 2020 Vulcan38019Needs some instructions if a beginner or intermediate level player is to benefit. Confusing to this user. Not nearly as helpful as some conventional chess books of various openings. Would not recommend without major revisions.
