Community Insight:
Thank you for this app and beautiful interface now we can learn an strengthen our chess endgame on the go as well as at home. Job lunch break, waiting room doctors appointment, in an Uber, in between a boring conversation, while wainwright on public transportation, you have made chess infinitely accessible and we are grateful and want to say thank you for your work. Damion coppedge, chess player and student.
We accidentally purchased the app and and its our go to.
Many unique insights we hadnt even considered….. Like seemly erratic knight moves to create a stalemate.
Im a 1900 – 2000 player and worst part of our game is the dreaded endgame. Tried of losing drawn endings or worse giving away winning games to terrible endgame blunders, we started working with this endgame training app. We have to say its really good. Im already making big gains in the endgame. Between this app and the tactics app you cant go wrong. We highly recommend this app.
We purchased the app and like it very much It shows the solution and variations and it lets you make moves to try to find the correct ones, one by one.
Phenomenal app. So practical. So helpful.
Have been hoping for app of ending book, any book would be fine. This app is much better than that, though. It's really helping us learn endings, easily. Thanks.
We really like this endgame app! Really teaches you the best way to play many endgames.
Unmatched chess endings app!! A must have for anyone who wishes to improve his endings understanding.
