Bugs, useless

I have had to “buy full course” three times because there is no log in and it seems to forget convenientlyRecent opening version is awful relative to chess base It misses multiple important variations and openings ( eg no London System) Not sure how the teaching is any better

As far as I can tell, no Chess King software actually teaches openings or explains the ideas/strategy behind them. Their apps (and PC software) automatically play through 10-15 moves and then ask you for a best move or two, and then automatically play through several more moves and tell you that you've completed an exercise. They also group exercises alphabetically by the openings' and variations' names (except for "Rare Variations," which for some reason is at the very top of the list) rather than by moves or even commonality, presumably assuming that everyone who uses their opening app already knows the openings. Woe to the beginner who downloads this app and learns the Hungarian opening before the Ruy Lopez. Plus, Chess Kings's interface (common across all their software) is also terrible; it shows you refutations and variations, which is great, but you can't skip them or save them for later, and there are so many of them that they distract from the main line of the exercise; and it seems like if you're making enough wrong moves that this becomes a problem, the last thing you need is constant interruption. And you have no way to replay the exercise from the beginning so that you can review, so you move to the next exercise without even really knowing what you yourself did in the previous one.

Scam

It has nothing to do with opening. It all about tactics. Scammers. I will report this scam to apple. It just like other CT tactics. Do not fall for it folks.

Great app but need a lot more exercises of the different openings.

It’s a really good app. I’ve learned a lot so far about how openings work.I just wish there were more examples of the opening systems. I rather like the Leningrad Dutch and want to learn more about it but you give only one example (sic) that said, the example given is very powerful. It would be great to give 20 or more examples of the different openings if at all possible. After studying some of the examples I was blasting my opponents of the board! The interface/ layout and idea/ concept are very good and easy to follow. We just need more examples/ exercises of them. Cheers

So far so good

Just started using and find it easy to use. Having animated moves is great. Love the quizzes that demonstrate the replies to incorrect answers and give hints as to the correct thought pattern while still not revealing the correct answer fully.

Unexpected gem!

I really thought this would be just another tactics program, but it has some excellent teaching methods and quality chess opening scenarios.
