Shredder Chess App Reviews

Any chance of getting an update to support the X and above screens?

There’s no subscription you needed or many different courses. It’s very simple and intuitive chess app. I’m so glad that the developer still doing update work!

I have tried every one I could find sand nothing beats this. The puzzles it gives you to solve are great and if you think it is wrong and your solution is better it lets you convert the puzzle to challenge the computer and it's always right.

I love this app, have been using it for years. However, there has been a long standing problem with the way it calculates scores for puzzles. In particular, not all puzzles get included in the scoring. Sometimes you can play a few and the scores never get updated. Or sometimes you solve a few puzzles with the top score, but your average score actually goes down. I usually reset my score after every 100 puzzles, and so it’s not that hard to see whether it’s updating it and if it’s accurate. I’ll

I have had this program for so many years that I have gone through not just on my PC but to iPhone and on my MacBook. I recommend this program 100%

Look no further! Shredder Chess is the GOAT

This is hands down the absolute best chess app ever. I tried every one over the years and this is the best there is. It will give you chess problems to solve and let you stop in the middle and play that position from either side. I cannot say enough about the thought that went into this app. Very versatile and fast. Thanks for making it so intersectional. I love the problems and use them every day to stay sharp.

I believe this is my best purchase on a chess app on IOS. I spent $7.99 in Feb of 2013 for this and after 10 years and many IOS version updates Shredder chess still is my go-to chess app for puzzles, playing, and learning. 1000 puzzles is a lot, and the best thing is I can continue playing against the engine at the position where the puzzle is solved for endgame practice.

Can we have in a future update all the games from the chess champions from Murphy to Magnus

The title says it all- this works well enough; but it’s slow and the puzzle solutions are full of problems. This app was highly recommended to me by two good players, so it’s disappointing to find several mistakes in their puzzle solutions within the first day using the app. I do like the customization of the board and pieces available and the fact that I can review and analyze other games, etc.; but the interface could be improved quite a bit. Overall, it’s decent for an easy way to ply against

Great app. It would be helpful for reviewing games to be able to copy/paste PGN or even FEN data. Another wish is for more than one best-moves line, though I’m not sure where it could be fit on the screen.

Now it’s working to the tea. It got fixed. Bugs - as far as I can see - got cleaned. Thanks.

This is the best substitute I have found for other actual chess players; the difficulty scaling is great and give a good, surmountable challenge.

At the beginning of a game, the program works more or less at the preset playing strength. However, during the middle game it often pumps up its rating significantly (validated with Crafty). A player at a moderate 1600 should continue to play at this level until the end and not suddenly play flawlessly. This is particularly annoying during a Blitz chess game.

This app is defective on many levels eg - declares draws when clearly not the case. There was only the black king on the board with 3 white queens, white rook and White Castle and it declared a stalemate draw - advised me to take back a checkmate move - frequently offers poor suggested moves - doesn’t clearly show when you have been put in check - no explanation on puzzles The list goes on. Don’t waste your money like I did. Get something else
