Pros and cons of Chess - Learn Chess app for iPhone and iPad
Chess - Learn Chess app good for
Thats the most complete and achieved chess application on iPad , graphically its the best, even the 3D board is playable, which is unique as ar as I know (other programs offering 3D are not nice).
Importing annotated games in pgn is possible (it would be perfect being able to see variations like in CBase Chess).
The gamecenter works fine but it should be improved and give more options, like ICC for example.
I like also the possibility to play rated games and choosing an opening like Sicilian via the opening library.
A great app that gives you an indepth explanation of the rules and tactics of chess !
Basic and good for beginners, it explains the rules, no real strategy. Good for a start
JBR
I wasnt expecting an app so clean, simple and really good on explain as well the moves
The rules are explained clearly, but one should not have to move the white and the blacks as well.
for someone who has little chess experience the summary of rules and some strategig insights are useful, fast and easy to read and understand.
Some bad moments
First off, a double pawn is not bad. (as your example)
A double isolated pawn is weak. HUGE difference.
I wont go into more details as you guys should pay a pro to get your things straith.
