Chess Endgame Trainer

I don’t even know what this is supposed to be. It’s completely stupid.

YAY !!! Now I CAN go directly to a specific game number. As promised, I’ve changed my rating from 2 stars to 5 stars. Thank you !!! But STILL can’t go directly to a specific game number. Add that and get five stars from me.

These are problems of the mate in X variety. For example the first one 8/8/8/p7/kPr4R/N1P5/2P5/1K5Q is by A.Myers, 1882. There are three issues with this app: (1) They do not credit any of the composers. This is beyond annoying, it is simply NOT DONE. One star for that alone. (2) They do not give the stipulations, in this case "mate in 2". (3) They do not give the correct solutions, for this one it is 1.Qd5. The app seems to calculate the solution on the fly, the first time it gave mate in 4 starting 1.b5+, the second time mate in 3 starting 1.Qa8. I looked at a sample of the other problems and it is the same story.

I would say they are puzzles, puzzles with about 1/4 or so pieces on the board. I guess they are endgame puzzles, as solving the puzzles results in checkmate. The price is right, the app is entertaining, so I give it 5 stars.
