Once I figured out the replay/restart options, it has become a very good tutorial ...to go back to previous puzzles or to study why the opponent would respond with one move vs. another ~~~😎 intermediate recreational septuagenarian

Great App for sharpening end game combination play. And examples are actually from real games that were played! The only downside is that when you checkmate the opponent the screen switches to the actual details of the game that was played but doesn't give you enough time to be able to read the names of the competitors and year so that you can look up the whole game from start to finish. Please can a longer delay on this be coded in:)

Hi Steven. You may turn off the Auto next option in the settings to manually switch to the next exercises and have enough time to read the game info.
