Missing a lot of features basic to Chess services and the AI makes very lazy blunders. Missing features include: * Random Choice between White or Black * Game History (without having to export it and use an external service) * A great variety of opening lessons (I 'learned' the french, and it only teaches you white's responses, for example) Also the AI blunders at Strong intermediate include: * My piece not being captured while I am just taking pieces like pac-man (+ more)

This is the best app for anyone wanting to learn chess. I've downloaded several apps, but this one has the best AI coach. I've learned a lot from the tutorials and guided play. However, after three guided sessions with the AI coach, you need to pay for the premium version. It’s not very expensive, but if you're saving money, the free version is still good and educational. This app is a great starting point for learning chess, and I highly recommend it.

Dr Wolf is a great app. Takes you from the fundamentals to the more advanced concepts. It's user friendly and easy to follow especially with the voice coach now. The only downside is that it doesn't offer suggestions on the best moves to play in an opening, doesn't offer tactical training but I guess other apps can be used for that. Other than that, it's great. It has helped me improve my game and the achievements and lessons are like challenges which I'm eager to complete. It's worth money
