Ratings and Reviews
The Best Chess Book Reading App
This app is by far the best chess book reading app on the market . I have purchased many chess books over the last few years on this app and have been very pleased with how it works. I like the fact that every so often they print one of the great older books like Art of Attack in Chess by Vukovic as this is a great book to study from and improve your game. I highly recommend this app for anyone who loves the game of chess and enjoys reading chess books.
Has potential, needs more work
Apps like this have the potential to make reading a chess book way more convenient, because you can always see the current position.
This is a good start but it’s just a beginning, it needs more work.
As far as bugs are concerned, it does not remember correctly the location on the page when restarting the app. On a chapter with ~ 10 games, it’s not easy to find the place to continue.
Also, it loses the current position when double-tapping to go full screen (or return from full screen).
In terms of features, the main thing I miss is some kind of visual indication that there’s text to read after the current move. Imagine I watch the board and then tap the Next button to advance through the game. Unless I check the notation after every move (very distracting) I would miss the move comment. True, there’s a dialog for variations, but that’s not the same thing. Some commented moves don’t have variation. A change in color, some dot lighting up somewhere would mean a lot in terms of convenience.
Awesome and effective
If you’re like me, you’re a casual but serious chess player. Great book collection, awesome interface and user friendly. Forward Chess has created a great app for learning and studying chess. You can choose board and text size, style, and so on. Books are reasonably priced, and you can always return to the page you left off reading. With just one hand, I can scroll through the game and text while my other hand holds a glass of a choice beverage.
