Best in a (non existent) class

Short review : if you are learning chess, Dr. Wolf will be a great booster.

I should elaborate from my own perspective. There are resources that will teach the rules, and there are resources that are challenging enough for a semi-serious player (say FIDE 1400+). From there down to the rank beginner there is precious little. Dr. Wolf is deigned to fill that gap, and all while I’m having fun playing a new and unique game!

I am an advanced beginner (as I write ~ FIDE 1000) and need help with tactics. Dr. Wolf won’t tell me every tactic (chess is a difficult game, folks) but I really enjoy when the app offers its commentary. I have a feeling there will be more to come, although if I ever get to 1400 (that certainly is an aim) it will be time to move on to the typical resources.

Another great tool for us patzers is of course regular play, and there may well be cheaper options if one improves through competition.

Money money money

I appreciate the complexities of chess and understand developing such a well rounded and pleasant learning experience (which this app does deliver), could be quite complex and costly to the developer. However….

A subscription based model costing $9 a month, or $60 a year really takes the charm from Dr wolf. It seems as though Dr wolf has obtained his doctorate in the field of finance and business, offering free trials for a few months and praying that you forget about the subscription while he makes withdrawals from your account all while laughing from his side of the chess board.

I find the increased use of subscription based models highly predatory and down right unnecessary. I feel as though it ruins what could have been a fantastic chess learning experience.

Developer Response ,

I hear you, the price of Dr. Wolf's coaching is not for everyone! We offer a 7-day free trial which gives you full access to all of the features within the app. Have you had a chance to try this out? Unfortunately, after the free trial expires we do require payment as we use those funds to support the maintenance and development of the application.
