Chess Tactics Pro (Puzzles) for Negative User Reviews

✓ I hate adsYet another app that bombards you with ads. Immediately deleted..CaseyJones WannabeeVersion: 2.03

✓ Need to improve daily puzzlesI liked the game at first and it felt fresh, but after finishing the built in puzzles all I was left with was the daily puzzles. But even with those, I wish the devs would include only “checkmate in x” puzzles, where the end result is a checkmate. I’ve only been doing the hard puzzles, and the game would tell me that a puzzle is “solved” but the actual game still had several moves before even reaching the endgame. This leaves me unfulfilled, and doesn’t help improve endgame or checkmate skills..2$$/Gnyce2$$/Version: 2.03

✓ Good when it worksSome puzzles don't involve a mate at all, and it doesn't tell you whether the solution is one move or two..FjdjesVersion: 1.10

✓ Doesn’t tell you why the solution is the best, all around unhelpful.You read the title..Major SoanielVersion: 1.19

✓ Pretty good but...Of all the chess tactics apps this one is very straight forward and a pleasure to use. (Some of the others out there can get very convoluted with their features.) My only gripe with some of these puzzles is that not all of them contain the most important feature in Chess combinations and that is: The Forced Move. The reason I’m writing this review, was because I just did one of their daily puzzles (nice feature) and after white takes black’s Bishop, the answer for black was to take the bishop with a pawn? Thus exposing the lonely Rook on the back file to be taken with white’s Rook... resulting in mate. Well… any decent player knows that you shouldn’t take that bishop. I find puzzles like this sometimes, but not all the time. Perhaps they need a better chess editor on board? Overall, not a bad app. Definitely worth having..TupeloboundVersion: 1.17

✓ Puzzle selection failIn the paid app, no matter what you select you get random mates, usually 6 and 7 moves which messes up my ELO. Fix this then 5 stars..UK-FeedbackVersion: 1.19

✓ Some puzzle solutions make no senseSome of the puzzle solutions aren't check mates. In fact they are far from that. When we press analyze, all we get are pieces going round and round while not serving a meaningful purpose.SocialCraneVersion: 1.09

✓ I hope I didn’t pay for thisThe reason I say this is some of these puzzles don’t make any sense. For instance there was one puzzle that I can get checkmate in two moves. But that wasn’t the answer they wanted; instead their answer was losing my queen with no benefit to it let alone leading to a checkmate. This isn the first time this happened and I finally had it to the point I wrote this review and would be my first well maybe 2nd review for I for the most part don’t review nor rate. But this app does some dumb stuff!.Ivy1974Version: 1.19

✓ It good for puzzlesI wish that there where more daily puzzles.Owjxndm2Version: 2.03

✓ Very good app (truly deserving 3 out of 5)I have kept this app on my iPhone for a few years now, coming back to it from time to time. This is a very solid app. First of all, it does not require an internet connection, like many of the other apps do. Most of the problems are correct, i.e. I do not run into bugs too often. I removed one star for the embedded chess engine - not sure what it is, since the name is never mentioned anywhere, but I get the feeling the engine it truly archaic (self made?). Not sure why in all these years the author chose not to upgrade to something like the most recent Stockfish version. And another star was lost due to the combination of minor cosmetic issues: * some minor errors, i.e. the program does not always respond with the best possible move * the board color schemes choice could be a bit better * the board sound is quite strange, more like a click, not very realistic.Pawn TraderVersion: 2.03

✓ Found the best moveMost of the puzzles are good but there are some that require you to assume the computer will make a mistake. Just because you put pressure on an unprotected queen doesn’t mean she’ll get out of the way giving you an easy checkmate. Even the analyze feature disagrees with the puzzle solution at times. Best move puzzles should require the computer to be rational and also take the best moves..Conceited personVersion: 2.03

✓ I verified your puzzles, buddy.According to chess analysis engines, some puzzles have more than one "solution". So in many cases, your little app says wrong when it's right. One of them was basically asking me to solve 5 moves in row that were not forced on either side. If you want people to find the only solution, make sure there's just one answer.BingoxzVersion: 1.05

✓ More puzzles neededMore puzzles needed.AhdbdbdbbdnlVersion: 1.09

✓ Fraudulent solution. Not solved puzzlesFraudulent solution. Not solved puzzles Wasted time and money.Bala ThayaparanVersion: 2.03

✓ Annoying reminders to rate appSo I did!.Coolth.caVersion: 2.03

✓ ChessGood not great.Fergus CurlerVersion: 1.09

✓ Poorly conceivedMany of the puzzles are flawed and involve optional moves (from the computer) which no real chess player would make. Many of the solutions also do not actually resolve the puzzle. There is also NO stated objective for any of the puzzles. The result of all this is a series of guesses from the part of the playing until the puzzle decides you have made the correct series of (often) random and unpredictable moves. Don't bother with this app. There are FAR better ones out there!.JsworthVersion: 1.14
