Simple chess board

Easy to use, clear graphics. An excellent study tool.

When going through chess books and they explore different lines, you can back up to a particular starting point. No engine or help-it is what it says , just a simple board. One addition that would be nice is a move counter so you know if you’re on track with what you’re studying.

One observation - the chessmen are not bound by the rules (i.e., they can move anywhere), so learners may find that misleading.

No frills, just necessary functions. With this app, it’s easy to play through a recorded game, resetting pieces as needed to try variations. It would be a great teaching tool as well, or a way to play over the board with a tablet. I haven’t seen anything else as straightforward and functional for these purposes.

Having just a chess board where pieces can easily be moved around to set up practice positions is a great feature of this app...who needs another chess computer with so many others out there? So this app in all its simplicity is so welcomed and unique! However, it loses points for lacking two main features...no portrait view on iPad and the board alone cannot expand to fill the entire screen... If author fixes these, this program would be perfect for all who study chess!

Excellent and simple to take a game with you, save easily.

As near perfect as can be for practice drills etc. Once you get used to its quirks. Would be nice if it would set up longitudinally instead of horizontally.

This app is just great!

Allows you to simply use this just like a regular chessboard.
