Good app , so this isn't really a criticism, but this app is for more advanced players in the middle or end game. Most of the combinations when playing for advantage are way beyond an average rated players ability. Most of it becomes guesswork. I decided to uninstall the app as these tournament moves are beyond my "for fun" rating. I'm not enjoying making constant mistakes with little hope of ever reaching this level of comprehension.

This app is pretty good. As a returning player who used to play many tournaments a year, this app is great for me to get back in mental shape. It is better than lichess puzzles as there are multiple lines in some positions annotated by real players.
