This is my favourite ebook application for studying chess with "ChessDB" . Left page you have the text, right the animated chess diagrams illustrating the purpose (you can go backward forward into variations). So for those you never read any chess book because of having to know 64 squares by heart this is going to make it easy to improve. This application comes with "Chess Fundamentals" from Rahul Capablanca for free , which is already a good reason to get it , as you can buy the real book for 20€ in any chess books shop... I bought Silmams "Comprehensive Chess Endings" on my iPad , and really enjoy it, I had the real book actually, but it was too much work to visualise the examples before this application came out... I really think that this way of reading is the future of chess literature . I just hope more books are going to get released on this, as for now the choice is a little poor... PS. I have a suggestion, why not putting the chess variations into a different colour than the main line (in red for example, for lines and pièces). Also, for those who have an iPad and an iPhone, its possible to get a book you have bought on your two machines without any extra paying with the option share your downloads I have a complain to do about your progression in a book, that is lost very often, you have to find again which page in the book you were! Is it done on purpose ? Possible as you find yourself on the Bookstore (you only need a click to buy a book , at 14€!, so be carefull) every time. No global view of your position in the book is given .

Description
As a chess enthusiast, you know there are many situations that would be improved by a good chess book – but only a Grandmaster could read one without a chess set. Until now. This app gives you book and set, so you can read great chess literature anywhere, any time, without skipping over the long lines and subvariations.
Chess books, by their very nature, are more than just text. With this app, chess books can be everything they were meant to be.
FEATURES
● Read real, full-length chess books, without setting up one board for the main line and another for the variations (as recommended by various authors).
● Highlight important information.
● Add notes into pages.
● Solve puzzles – move the pieces around to see if your solution looks good. Tap the Solution button to see the answer. No need to rummage through the back of the book to check the solutions, and no danger of accidentally seeing the solution to the next puzzle while you’re checking the previous one.
● Ponder continuations – think about the position before tapping the Reveal button to see how the game proceeded (and whether the players chose the correct continuations).
● Study endings – play out the long solutions of endgame puzzles effortlessly, and get a proper feel for the technique involved.
● Tap on moves directly, or use the buttons under the live board to follow the main line, or to follow through moves as they appear in the text (main lines and variations).
● Tap on any diagram in the text to set it up on the live board.
● Change the text size, and the size of the diagrams in the text.
● Easy navigation through the book, by Contents, or Player, or Opening.
● Lookup words in a dictionary.
● The book remembers where you stopped reading and opens at that page for you.
● Read chess books on the train, on the bus, in the air, or while waiting interminably between any two modes of transport.
● Continue reading without worrying that the table will be cleared of your chess set for dinner, or that the cat will decide to sleep on the center squares, or that the kids will make off with it to use as an alien zoo.
● Have you really played through as many of the famous old classics as you would like? Take a chess classic to the armchair; relax and enjoy the fantastic variations, and the comments of the all-time greats.
● Build up a library of new books, great classics, and everything in-between.
● Enjoy chess books in any spare moment. Coffee and Capablanca? Muffin and Morphy? No problem. Tall skinny latte and Lasker, any time.
● Take your whole chess library on holiday – Botvinnik by the beach.
● Read chess books in the gym.
● Where else? Join us on our e+Blog and tell us where you read our chess books!

Best (we think) on the iPad, but works great on the iPhone and iPod touch.
