Chess Opener PRO Reviews
Seems to be the best opening trainer on iPadOS. Not perfect, but very useful.
By chance while checking for any update to Vicolis Chess Studio, we found this outstanding chess opening app! Our chess suffers from constant weak opening play and after a few dedicated hours with this program we have improved significantly when using our three favorite Black openings as we play opponents on-line. We have several other iPad chess opening apps that for several reasons including being BORING to use never made much difference to our opening play as Black. The interface is easy to learn and use, a crucial factor in its effectiveness. Its features are well chosen and add the feeling to explore. The ability to replay Grandmasters openings with Stockfish assisting our understanding their game positions is a special feature to us. (Some favorite past Grandmasters we hope will be added to the 100+ available.) A wonderful addition to our iPad chess applications!
We cant say enough good things about this app. Its simple to use, has a World Champion chess engine with a beautiful interface. It keeps board and piece options simple but all are quality options that most tournament players use. Using this app creates an opening repertoire that can be adjusted with ease. Using Stockfish you can explore and build openings that fit your temperament . Chess opener is the only app you need to become a strong opening player. Since we bought this app we stopped using Chessbase because on an IPad Chess Opener is convenient and enjoyable to use.
Helps you memorize openings by repetition of lines. Great work.
It’s a pleasure to use. We like our purple board and we like our reps we built. Number of stockfish lines we can set to 2 in settings.
Love this thing. Its soooo good. We’ve them all. This is it.
Truly great app. We have the pro version. We use it every day. One grumble, sometimes it repeats the same variation for no apparent reason.
Ignore the 1-star ratings. We had given up on the iPad for opening training before we stumbled across this app. Excellent conception and implementation! Thank you!
Fantastic app. Beautiful. Cough up that money, its worth it. Perfect for opening training. And support split screen now.
This app is an excellent training aid, as most of the other reviews have mentioned. The one thing its missing, as of this writing, is the split screen option, which is standard for most apps. It would be very helpful.
Great multi-usage opening app, and very intuitive to use. The animated piece movement added in the last update is very helpful. One suggestion is if the forward and backward move buttons on the bottom of the iPad version could be made larger, it would be helpful for users with larger hands to tap. Thanks for the great app.
Truly great app. We have the pro version.
We wish we could post a sceenshot of all the opening trainer apps we have. This one is the best by far, super nice and responsive dev, great options.
We need split screen so we can have a chess book or app on one side and your app on the other.
Does not train beyond opening position. Useless.
