Mate in 3 Chess Puzzles

B”H I’m addicted

Hi all, This app is excellent. The chess problems are actual problems that have been previously posted in magazines, newspapers, forums etc and have all been compiled into this app. The solutions are not always obvious, and as such, a computer may have a difficult time finding the correct move to get to mate (which is generally a very quiet move, or not a move you'd look at right away). With that being said, the solutions are written in TEXT form and are always correct. The computer doesn't refer to the text solution - it just tries to solve it (brute force) and sometimes it is wrong. Don't blame the limitations of the hardware. Every single line is written out in each of the solutions, and each solution leads to mate. If you pick up algebraic notation you'll quickly understand what I'm talking about.

Make u see the forest from the trees

First puzzle that I tried, I couldn't figure out the solution, so I used the cheat button. The solution that the game gave me didn't seem right, so I plugged the setup into a chess program. Sure enough It was a mate in 4. This was just the first puzzle in the bunch. This doesn't speak good for the app.

What good is the app if many chess problems dont have a solution. I after a long time of killing yourself to find the answer you give up and have the machine tell you the answer you get a message that there is no solution... Also so many with solutions that are wrong. .i ran some questionable puzzles, bc i notice a few had spite moves which meant it was not mate in three, and i ran them in shredder to verify, and sure enough, they were not mate in three.

This app has 1000 or so puzzles for chess which are difficult but possible. Pros: lots of challenging puzzles that greatly improve skill Cons: Hint only lets you know the first move

I like this app quite a bit. When ever I am bored I find myself testing myself against these puzzles instead apps that waste my time.

Learning a lot

It would help if the black pawns were inverted to help my brain known which squares are being attacked Some puzzles it seems like black makes strange moves... Then again I am no master

The AI makes erratic, non-optimal moves. Some of the problems have no solutions (the AI can't solve for them, anyway). Not what you want after scratching your head for 5 minutes!
