Shredder

There’s no subscription you needed or many different courses. It’s very simple and intuitive chess app. I’m so glad that the developer still doing update work!

There is no chess trainer better than this app. Used it for years. Try it out and you won’t be misled. Thanks for keeping this up and American for as long as you have. God bless, and play chess. SHRED.

The app works well on iPhone 17 series event though the update is a bit dated. Can we have 360 Chess option in our games? That randomised mode is frequently played in FIDE Chess tournaments these days, and I think it will be a good addition inside the app!

This app is defective on many levels eg<br/><br/>- declares draws when clearly not the case. There was only the black king on the board with 3 white queens, white rook and White Castle and it declared a stalemate draw <br/>- advised me to take back a checkmate move <br/>- frequently offers poor suggested moves <br/>- doesn’t clearly show when you have been put in check <br/>- no explanation on puzzles<br/><br/>The list goes on. Don’t waste your money like I did. Get something else

At the beginning of a game, the program works more or less at the preset playing strength. However, during the middle game it often pumps up its rating significantly (validated with Crafty). A player at a moderate 1600 should continue to play at this level until the end and not suddenly play flawlessly. This is particularly annoying during a Blitz chess game.

I believe this is my best purchase on a chess app on IOS. I spent $7.99 in Feb of 2013 for this and after 10 years and many IOS version updates Shredder chess still is my go-to chess app for puzzles, playing, and learning. 1000 puzzles is a lot, and the best thing is I can continue playing against the engine at the position where the puzzle is solved for endgame practice.

I have had this program for so many years that I have gone through not just on my PC but to iPhone and on my MacBook. I recommend this program 100%

I have tried every one I could find sand nothing beats this. The puzzles it gives you to solve are great and if you think it is wrong and your solution is better it lets you convert the puzzle to challenge the computer and it's always right.
