World Class trainer

I can’t say enough good things about this app. It’s simple to use, has a World Champion chess engine with a beautiful interface. It keeps board and piece options simple but all are quality options that most tournament players use.
Using this app creates an opening repertoire that can be adjusted with ease. Using Stockfish you can explore and build openings that fit your temperament . Chess opener is the only app you need to become a strong opening player. Since I bought this app I stopped using Chessbase because on an IPad Chess Opener is convenient and enjoyable to use.

Great Surprise In Finding This App

By chance while checking for any update to Vicoli’s “Chess Studio”, I found this outstanding chess opening app!

My chess suffers from constant weak opening play and after a few dedicated hours with this program I have improved significantly when using my three favorite Black openings as I play opponents on-line. I have several other iPad chess opening apps that for several reasons including being BORING to use never made much difference to my opening play as Black.

The interface is easy to learn and use, a crucial factor in its effectiveness. It’s features are well chosen and add the feeling “to explore”. The ability to replay Grandmasters’ openings with Stockfish assisting my understanding their game positions is a special feature to me. (Some favorite past Grandmasters I hope will be added to the 100+ available.)

A wonderful addition to my iPad chess applications!

Almost perfect for training (iCloud sync will be even better!)

If this had iCloud sync across my devices for my repertoire then it would have 7 stars for me but for now I can only give it 5 stars 😆😆😆 You can import PGN for now or make the moves to add a new opening for training
