Wow! This gives the openings plus the percentage of players that make one particular move. And if you look for it it will show which masters players, with their rating, that had the exact position and who won! Additionally, it has a quiz to test knowledge like which opening is shown and best statistically for the win. I am most impressed. I've had this going about an hour and no adverts yet... I hope they are mild to none, but I understand there must be money for bills. Thanks for this program!

Overall, the app is pretty good at capturing the main lines. Requiring a connection to access database games is not a big problem for me, but some gripes I have include the weak engine analysis as well as an outdated opening database. When I first got the app 4 years ago, it really helped me develop my opening knowledge, but now that I am decent (2000), I need a more thorough database. This app is good for beginner/intermediate players, but for experienced players you should look elsewhere.

Nice app, two problems.. 1. There is a play back one move button but no play forward button.. I.e if you've played through an opening and need to play back and forward again to memorize, you can play back but not forward so you have to replay the moves again.. 2. No stockfish analysis included. This is freeware, I don't see any reason why we're shouldn't have computer analysis since opponents can make random moves not in your opening tree and you need to figure out the best response.. If this two can be added I'd give it a 5.
