Magnus Trainer - Train Chess

This is very well structured and the lessons are very clear. Overall a really good app. However, I don’t like the timing restrictions on many of the exercises. I’m an older person and can do these perfectly well but keep running out of time which is irritating. An option to have extra time or no timing to exercises would be great. In the end I want to understand chess better not beat speed tests. Thanks!

This is such a good app because it explains you how to play chess in a simple way. Now i love chess. Also if your parents say you got to do something educating then you can play this because it is fun and you learn things so you should definitely get this app

I’ve been playing chess for 30 years and this has taught me so much about strategy and elevating my control of the board. I have a paid subscription and it is money well spent.

So happy with this app very good exercises that help to improve your chess game. Highly recommend downloading this app if you want to improve your chess.

Not a bad tool when it works properly. Very frustrating with some of the puzzles having multiple solutions, but only accepting one as correct. They also have a deal claiming to be 25% off which is actually only 15% off. ($84.99 down from $99.99)

This app is really amazing. I used this for over a week and have been playing since, in fact, I’m way better than my friend now. Love this app, keep up the great work. :)

This is an amazing app to learn to play chess, and it’s so well done that it makes me wonder why I would want to learn any other way. Definitely agree this isn’t a free app but the subscription is definitely worth the outcome.

It trains you by teaching and you even can play games.

The content is really good, like that it’s not patronisingly easy but you have to play these stupid timed games to enjoy the good puzzles. I want to learn challenging tactics not pretend I’m picking up sea shells. And you have to complete them to progress. I’d stick to something else especially for ludicrous subscription price.

I thought this app was pretty well made. It increases in difficulty the older “Magnus” gets and is overall what I think would be quite accurate. The only thing about this app that wasn’t so good was that there seemed to be a glitch where when he is 29 I am able to beat him and I’m no chess genius. Overall though, it’s pretty good.
