Simple and Sweet
This inexpensive program is simple but effective! Enter an opening line and get a list of strong GM games that followed the line. See how strong GM’s won, lost and drew starting from that position.
Very helpful!
I have to admit that I am finding this app very useful in helping me learn chess openings. Makes learn fun by giving you the options and letting you explore!
Enjoyable and instructive
This app makes chess study convenient and efficient. Playing out the master games engenders chess appreciation.
loving this app
this is a very good app to study openings and games. glad i made the decision to buy it. i love that there are games played by the highest level of players from yesterday to today. hopefully more games will be added in cause i defintely love having them all in one app. thank you
Excellent
One of the best app on Openings I highly recommend it
Sweet as
Very cool opening explorer. Engine included and games for every position.
Opening suggester
Everything about the app is good, but there should be an option to suggest an opening to be put into the app. I don’t know if it’s missing any other opening, but it is missing the kloosterboer gambit.
I love this app, but current version...
For some reason when I go to “Games with this position” and choose any of the games, they are all games in the wrong position! This was working about a week ago, I think something went wrong in the last update. Again, thank you for your work on this app, and I’m hoping you can address this bug fix soon — happy to review again once fixed!
Continueing a line
I like the app, but if I’m doing opening prep for a game, why does it show there are 100+ games in the database then just stop showing the breakdown to the point where I cant move any pieces. I’ve resorted to using other apps for tournament prep.
Hard to follow
Hard to follow
Not an intuitive app!
Needs some instructions if a beginner or intermediate level player is to benefit. Confusing to this user. Not nearly as helpful as some conventional chess books of various openings. Would not recommend without major revisions.
Very confusing
No idea what the percentages mean, at least a one paragraph instruction on how the app works would be nice
Opennings
No explantion backing the move s
Waste of $4
No idea how to even use this.
