Adaptive Tactics. Everyone loves Chess Puzzles! With Aimchess our Tactics Puzzles adapt to your strengths and weaknesses. Struggling with specific kinds of puzzles? We’ll show you them more often so you can make the most of your training time. Is one particular puzzle giving you difficulty? We’ll show it to you again a little later so you can prove that you’ve learned from your mistakes!
Blindfold Tactics. Are normal Tactics Puzzles too easy? Test your skills with our Blindfold Tactics, where you have to visualise and solve the position simultaneously!
Blunder Preventer. Given two possible moves, do you think you can spot the blunder? It’s not always as easy as you’d think!

With no clear material gains available even the smallest positional advantage could be the right move!
Practice Visualisation. Memorize a board and then answer questions about where the pieces were, how many undefended pieces there were, or even what moves you need to make to capture certain pieces.
Checkmate Flash Cards. Run through a series of mates that all great Chess Players need to know, can you get them all right and beat your best time?
Much More. Also included in our Training Room is our Opening Improver, Advantage Capitalization Trainer, Endgames, Intuition Trainer, Retry Mistakes, Defender and Time Trainer.

I love this app, provides a lot of puzzles for free users and they’re pretty unique, but if you make a mistake it takes you back to the start instead of your last move. It also has a habit of logging me out of the app a lot
Great concept but needs improvement

On one hand I wanted to give 5 stars. The amount of insight into your statistics you get is so valuable. You can practice your past mistakes- it’s great. The app is one of a kind, so so incredibly useful for improving your play. But please put these improvements so that we can actually enjoy all the features: A lot of the exercises and graphs are difficult to understand. If you do a puzzle, the feedback you get is “You (977) ⚔️ puzzle 1000” - what does that mean? Did I get it right? Same with practicing past mistakes, I select an alternative option to the move i’ve made and the feedback is “you played x before which was a mistake…” okay but does that mean what I just selected was better? Or did I do it wrong again? Feedback!!!!Graphs: let’s say on a graph about “time management” or sth -the y axis seems to be between 20 and 80 i think, and there are three lines in the graph. The legend says that each colour represents a number, and in the top right corner it says “-15%”. Again, what does that mean? Units please! What am I looking at.

The app really has a lot of ways to improve. The puzzles are slow and you can’t always go back and look at previous puzzles. The only personalised part seems to be it takes puzzles from your actual game that you missed but even that is not always good. For example I had a mate in 4 I missed and instead I repeated moves. The puzzle started off from the second time I was in the position and there was no longer any chance to checkmate as the road to checkmate meant I would have to repeat the position and draw, so it was an impossible puzzle. When I clicked on the solution it said there was only one move but when I played it it said it was a mistake because it was a draw. The app moves slowly and most of the features you can’t access if you don’t pay. The good thing about it is the three free insights you get which are very detailed.
Interesting concept, poor execution

Seems like a useful tool to improve in chess, but the free version is very lacking. The app itself feels like a walking ad for its subscription.Aimchess reels users in with the 40 game summary statistics only to reveal the only training activity on the app, “warm up”, is just a glorified puzzle rush.All of the improvement plan features are locked behind a $7.99/month paywall with no taster to tell if it’s worth it— my guess is you’re better off sticking to Chessable for opening repertoire training and Chesstempo tactic training
The latest version contains bug fixes and performance improvements.
