Want to learn to play chess well in ten minutes a day, and have
fun doing it? Grandmaster Maurice Ashley, the most popular chess
commentator in the world, brings his award-winning teaching methods
to the iPhone.

Maurice’s unique approach isolates, teaches, and trains for the
individual skills that the game requires. Perfect your use of each piece,
one at a time, as you learn to visualize the chessboard… and forget
trying to learn a bunch of rules at once, only to make frustrating simple
mistakes.

Maurice narrates 20 lessons designed to give the beginner a strong
grounding in the basic rules and strategy about such topics as
Openings, the Center and Material Value. But the core of his special
method is the Skillbuilder section, where your abilities will grow so that
good moves will come almost automatically.

When you’re not taking lessons or working on your skills, you can
always test yourself in the puzzle section, with over 160 checkmate
puzzles ranging from Easy to Difficult. Or, if you’re up for a game,
there are three levels of play designed to give the growing learner
a chance to practice techniques against a reasonable opponent.

Lessons
1. The Board
2. The Rook
3. The Bishop
4. The Queen
5. The Knight
6. The King
7. The Pawn
8. Check
9. Checkmate
10. Stalemate and Other Draws
11. The Center

15. Trades
16. After the Opening
17. Basic Checkmate – Queen and Rook
18. Basic Checkmate – Queen and King
19. The TRIP Method of Defense
20. Passed Pawns

Hundreds of practice puzzles follow the lessons to help the learner
perfect each principle.

Skill Builders are fun activities in and of themselves. Beware of the Hard
level. Maurice designed these to be super-challenging, even for him!

1. Pawn Mower
2. Escape
3. Quibs
4. Wolf
5. Attack
6. Mate is Fate
7. Invisible Piece
8. Square Biz
9. Knight Concentration

A Help icon (?) gives an explanation at any point during an activity.

Superb!

Excellent training. So different, yet so good!

Simply worth it

There is so much in this app for the price that i just totally suggest everybody willing to practice to get this app.

ビデオレッスンが素晴らしく勉強になります!!

動画によるレッスン(復習問題付き)、チェックメイト等の問題、そしてCPU相手の対局の3部構成となっています。 20章の各ビデオ・レッスンは盤の説明から始まり、各駒の動き、チェックメイト、オープニング、ミドルゲーム等の基本を丁寧に(しかもMaurice Ashley の肉声で!!)説明してくれます。 動画で説明される駒の動きはMaurice Ashley の説明と実にうまくタイミングが合っていて、とても分かりやすく、英語が苦手な方でも取っ付きやすいのではないかと思います。(チェスだけでなく、英語のリスニングの勉強にもなりますね。) 要望があるとすれば、各種問題で正解・不正解のどちらでもダイアローグがすぐに表示され盤を隠してしまうので、自分の駒の動きの再確認がしにくいところでしょうか。 対局については別のチェス・アプリでやっているので未評価とさせていただきます。 私のような最低限の動きしか知らなかったような初心者には、おすすめのチェス・トレーニング・アプリだと思います。

Great app...great buy!

This is a very good app! Very intuitive with plenty of great lesson!
