I like the flow how this app teaches chess. Putting in more exercises will reinforce learning specific skills. Suitable for beginners. I hope to see chapters on Attack, Capture and Defend. I would like to give this app 4.6 stars as there are still many areas that can be improved.

you're thrown into a match, with no explanation of what to do, with only 'hints' which simply tell you the next move without explaining why that move is a good one. perhaps this is useful for a more experienced player, but it's worse than useless for a beginner.

Hi John, Now clicking on hint button also tells you what the recommended move does, instead of just showing the arrow! please try it out.
