User Reviews for iChess - Chess puzzles

Thoroughly enjoy it

I have used this app for at least a year. The division of the puzzles by difficulty is perfect for me. I’ve learned some tactics even from the “easy” puzzles especially when combined with Analyze This. I don’t play chess anymore—I don’t have any inclination to memorize openings. But I like chess puzzles and this app has provided many hours of enjoyment.

iChess vs Chess Tactics Pro

Both are excellent at helping study tactics for improvement! Both allow you to purchase more puzzles but iChess leads by a huge margin. The interfaces are simple and attractive, Chess Tactics more so. To continue game play after a puzzle is finished, Chess Tactics has a built in chess engine of modest strength and iChess integrates with the free “Analyze This” app using the powerhouse Stockfish 8 chess engine. It is accessed with a simple click on a screen icon. Analyze This is a powerful, feature-rich chess app and provides depth analysis for up to 10 lines play and allows variations. Using Analyze This has tremendous value.Both track your progress with Chess Tactics providing a FIDE rating “guess”. Unplayed puzzles - Chess Tactics shows small game boards with the puzzles’ number and a check mark if played versus iChess displaying a large table of numbers (marked green if played). Both have reset buttons available.I use both, BUT tend to use iChess much more because - 1) it has more specialized puzzles, 2) Analyze This can be used for analysis and is so easy to access, and 3) iChess starts you with a huge number of puzzles.

Great with one problem

Love the app, huge fan. Only problem is I can’t restore my previous purchases. Worked one time to install the puzzles but every time I play it, the app crashes. 😞

Great app

Excellent set of 1000 initial puzzles and hundreds more for purchase. Great integration with “Analyze This” (or is it Analyze That 😀) to try alternative lines. I would have given it 5 stars except I was unable to upgrade and the developers have not responded to my emails or in-app feedback.

This app makes you a better player

I use this app while I'm at work throughout the day and I have seen a huge improvement in my games. My only complaint is that there is no option to remove the red dots that tell you where the piece can move.

Mostly great, sometimes puzzles defy analysis

Using the linked analysis occasionally shows that your opponent mad a bad move which you couldn’t possibly predict. Master puzzle 35 is an example. If you can’t understand a puzzle solution

Great app, but…

I’m enjoying the puzzles and the no-nonsense interface, but I cannot upgrade to no-ads or buy more puzzles.

Great chess puzzles

Works well. I like choosing the level (normal to harder). Excellent integration with Analyze This app, which helps to understand puzzles.I’d like to review puzzles I missed, but that information is not available. Maybe color the puzzle number with red instead of green for missed puzzles in Bird View?The numerical score isn’t very useful. Maybe give an estimated ELO number instead? I think lichess does that.

Customizable Tactics!

Best part about this app is that you can load your own tactics PGN files into it and use those. It’s great! Would love it if the computer would randomly play secondary variations sometimes. Either way this is just a great tactic app.
