Great for beginners.
I’m enjoying the app, some have proven to be a challenge. It be nice to find an app that had a mode that’d let me answer in notation rather than moving the pieces. Seems like it’d be helpful to be beginners.

Awesome app!
Awesome chess puzzle app! I got the bundle and they are all great but this is my favorite (as chess in one are little easier than the others). I’ve really improved since I started doing these. I find myself recognizing mates again and again in my games with doing these. I’ve used like chess.com or lichess and their puzzles before, but have gotten more out of this app than those by far.
