Ratings and Reviews
One,if not, the best!
I have been using this one to improve my chess skills. Bare in mind that apart from knowing the basics of how each piece moves I knew nothing at all.
Since learning with Sir Wolf, I, now, confidently can play a game of chess and maybe have a chance of winning BUT practice is the best tool you have. I try to play a game a least daily and alocate at least 30-60 minutes a day in learning, mistakes review, lessons.
Today I have just learned the Queen’s Gambit pt1 and just used it to play a game in Intermediate level, and won quite comfortably with 35 great moves and only 5 minor Blunders (from when forking).
I would like to thank the Devs for making this learning kerb such a friendly one and the experience you get from the moment you start the app to the moment when you close it is not only fun but so calmly and “gentlemanly”, it is as if there is not a bot that is teaching you but an actual person.
Keep it up! Love it! I am a subscriber student to Sir Wolf and it is so worth it (of course if you would like to learn this fascinating board game).
Developer Response ,
Hey! You're so right - nothing beats steady practice every day. We really appreciate you too! Thank you so much for such a thoughtful response.^^
Very interactive.
The thing I like about this app is the instant feedback your get after every move. With most chess computers all you are given is a numerical assessment of the position but here you are the told in natural language what the situation is, which I much prefer. In would be nice if, in the future, you could set up a position from a book to study and also increase the engine strength for serious study but perhaps that’s down the line, I hope so anyway. Very good app with much potential and I just hope the developers can make it even better. I also love the way you can go over your mistakes in a game assisted by Dr Wolf. I think this could be very valuable in improving as a player. I just wish they had this out decades ago when I had a burning interest in chess but have become a bit cynical over the years due to lack of training.
Crushing
This app is well designed and much more fun than the traditional sort of “chess puzzles” type approach. You can also personalise it a bit, choosing coaches, changing your name and so on. A few times it has made me laugh with its sass. Update with more sass, please! The only problem is that I’ve played 175 games and am getting worse instead of better. I have enjoyed using the app and say it is good value for money, but my chess isn’t improving. Perhaps it’s just me. Perhaps I need Dr Wolf to be a bit more direct or the training to be in more bite-sized chunks. After my last set of games, Dr Wolf seemed to suggest I should take a nap. She may be right.
