Community Insight:
We are enjoying this chess tactics ap. The positions are mostly from real games so it will probably help with your own games. We like that it shows how the positions arose from the starting position.
This app make no sense at all. It is chaotically crazy to try to even began and dont dare move away fro The 1st page searching for more information. It takes you to never never never land of mumbo-jumbo.
