I'm back to studying, like many here, after some time away. These problems can be some real head scratchers. Most have at least one core lesson to figure out. It might be counting libert ies, making good shape, seizing sente, and the like. I also appreciate that the computer responds differently when you revisit some problems. I find the app is helpful alongside other study tools. You've definitely got to reach upward to learn from the app, but as the devs point out that effort is necessary.

So this game gives no instructions and does not hold your hand. The only help it does give is the actual help button to show you your best next move. That being said this is an amazing app that does exactly what the title says (and nothing more). There is no frill or anything unnecessary. I fully intend to buy the additional, optional problems to support the developer(s).

Great app, and the free version doesn't feel limited at all. You start with 150 problems, plus a few more daily ones. Even if you never buy anything, the dailies ensure you can always practice a little, though I did decide it was worth paying after working through the 50 beginner problems. Features are basic but good. You can step backward and forward through a problem to understand it better (especially good if you used a hint), and it responds well to alternate solutions when they exist.
