User Reviews for Memphis Chess Club

Great value!

The amount of value in this app is quite high. I do like the verisimilitude of the positions.

Great little program, but...

I found all the problems entertaining. I found a number of alternate and quicker solutions to a few problems, but two of the problems had no solutions or were presented improperly (for instance black to play, instead of white to play)

Good practice

These nice little challenges help me improve my game. A good mixture for me of easy and hard chess puzzles.

Great!

I do a lot of tactics training on various websites and one specific app. These tactics are superior without question! The other tactics are usually computer generated. If you look at those other tactical puzzles you'll realize that you are being trained on tactics that you will almost never use because the average player who needs a tactic trainer to move up the class D and C levels won't be playing opponents who put themselves in such positions. Kudos to the Memphis CC for all the work it took to record, compile, and produce the material so this book and app could be created! :-) Keep 'em coming!!

2stars only because it’s free!

Abrupt quits are frequent, and the solver can’t produce hints or solutions for any of the mate-in-7 problems. So it’s good for all the problems up to mate in 6, which is good enough practice. It’s entirely possible that more powerful iPhones will support this app completely, so if you have an 8 or higher give it a try!

Mate in so many real moves

What makes this collection of chess puzzles stand apart from others is these appear to be taken from real positions in chess games. The player and opponent names are given along with their rating, if known, at the time. This makes the puzzles more realistic as opposed to the utter nonsense of those fabricated setups we've seen before, made up purely for the sake of a puzzle. Lastly, this collection is pretty large at 500 puzzles and they range from mate-in-one to mate-in-eighteen (I believe). Thankfully, the number of puzzles are plentiful for us mere mortals on the lower end of the calculation scale. I will add there is also a timer and a hint system. The board and pieces are somewhat customizable as well. Nice app. Fun and challenging.

Lots of fun

This app is a lot of fun!

Excellent!

I like these much better than 'composed' problems, as these are based on actual games. There are some, however, which, after I've given up, the iPhone is unable to solve and displays a message to that effect, and when I play through the text solution, the problem makes no sense - lots of unforced moves and plenty of ways to avoid mate within the given number of moves. Other than that, this, together with the other set of puzzles from MCC, is great. I'm up to about 60% success with mate in six, which seemed impossible when I started. Many hours of enjoyment, highly recommended!
