Chess Tiger Hack 2019.06.1 + Redeem Codes

This is a bad program.

First of all, I wasn't going to write a review even though this chess app is terrible. But EVERY SINGLE TIME I would turn on the app to play, I would get a pop up telling me about either, reviewing, or asking me to buy. And the pop-up was hilariously stupid on top of it. Each time, it would say that there was only a limited time to buy the app for a certain price. But I play this app every day sometimes and having this pop up saying they have this limited price every single day is annoying if not dumb.

Now, mind you, there is an option to choose"never" when the pop up asks you to rate the app. Does it work? Noooo. You click on never, and it keeps coming back consistently, annoyingly.

But onto the app itself. Download it for yourself. Play it for yourself. The game has very predictable moves that make growing as a chessplayer impossible with this app. I play it when I want to turn my brain off and to amuse myself sometimes but overall it is not the app to actually grow and learn from.

Improve the algorithm for moves on your stupid game, stop with the pop ups every single time someone wants to play, and when you have an option for the player to turn off pop-ups stick to your guns and give them that option.

Annoying.

When going to settings and clicking on the link saying I have zero free games left, the developer says something like, “Let’s be honest, we offer the free version in hopes that you will purchase the paid version”.

Unfortunately, your paid version is $10 (which is from your a “limited time” offer of 50% off - haha). Not many people are paying $10 for a chess app. I would pay a few bucks, but that’s all. I think many people are like me in this regard. Obviously, the developer is overvaluing the price of this app and thinks that eliminating the free version will drive people to purchase the overpriced pro version. That won’t happen, but hey, that’s his right.

So instead of having a reasonably priced game which many people would buy (because it’s a great app), they make the free version useless and alienate all of the loyal players who would’ve paid if it was priced reasonably. Now it’s on to searching for another chess app...it’s not like there aren’t a million others to choose from. Sure seems like a poor decision on their part. Five people paying $3 for the app (and recommending to their friends) is better than one person paying $10. Just sayin’.

I downloaded this game in the Summer of 2018 and loved it. You could work your way from lower to higher level Computer Opponents to improve your skills. Each time you met the requirement you got a token to use a pro-feature like setup position, analysis, playing a game with your friend. It gave you a taste of the Pro-version that would convince anyone to buy it because it was a good app. But then they updated it.

With the update they cut the features I used to use. You will have 10 free credits to play some good games and higher level opponents but then it’ll water the game down more and you will have minimal features. Can you even really get into the apps features with 10 games? Or will you spend it trying out the features only for it shut those off when you run out. All the new info says “we just want you to buy the pro version” instead of what they offered before. I get you made the app to make $ but I know people who bought it because of the quality of the lit-version. It didn’t feel like a bait and switch before but now I’m disappointed.

...the green light that is! Work your way up to a level where you can't win, then turn on the green button and play a few games until you begin to feel the rhythms and patterns of that level. Helps with opening and protecting your king. You also begin to realize that just one piece difference wins the game at higher levels. Try out the masters levels just for fun - hard to imagine anyone being able to think that far ahead - probably the same guys that memorize pi out to 10,000 decimal places. Only improvement I would suggest would be to provide more commentary on strategies as you are moving and an overall description which characterizes each major difficulty level (i.e., the novice level player does not miss seeing attacks and has a command over all pieces. Works in single strategy, etc). For that I would pay more. I have painfully learned more about draws and stalemates than I ever wanted. Great app!

This is a great chess program and it offers many additional perks such as suggestive moves, perceived threats, allows you to take back moves and a splendid feature which allows you to go back from the checkmate to the very beginning and also forward again. This allows study of where you went wrong or where you made a stellar move which brought about a checkmate. It will also give you the option to let you know about a possible stalemate. If you prefer you can stop all input and go totally on your own. One feature that certainly gives you a pat on the back is that it records when you have made a genius, master or simply good move. I think the one biggest benefit of the chess program is that it teaches you to play chess well and have fun learning. 5 stars for the developer of this program!

After downloading multiple free Chess apps I’ve settled on this one as the best. I felt so strongly about this that I purchased the pro version. However that is on another iCloud account.

I can tell her it’s been a great deal of time invested into this app. It’s quite customizable. The options are pretty simple and straightforward. It’s not nearly as intimidating as other chess apps for more novice players like myself. I played on the free version for hours. It’s more than suitable for a quick fix and there are no limits to the amount of times we can play the beginner level computer.

I recommend the app as well as recommend upgrading to the pro version. It’s approximately the cost of a cup of expensive coffee and less than a cocktail. With a one time cost it’s a no-brainer in terms of value, even being an app tied to an account. it also comes across as less pretentious than other apps that attempt to simulate an experience.

In the pro version do yourself a favor and don’t set the difficulty too high. The computer will cut three you like a hot knife through butter. The experience can be enlightening and a bit discouraging.

This app was actually better than I thought it would be.

I just want to play casually and get a little better here and there. I'm not trying to be a GM; I just want to be better than my friends.

Other chess apps were fine but the play was either way too weak or way to strong. I would find the level of play to change dramatically from poor openings to very strong end game (or maybe I just have a poor end game). Anyways this app let me change the rank of my opponent until it was beatable but challenging, and now I can figure out incrementally what my Elo might actually be and slowly play more challenging competition

The app is great! If you think if gets “boring” just set the ELO to 2700 or world top 50 level. I guarantee you either won’t be bored OR you could make an extra income (if you consistently beat it at that level). The only missing feature keeping this from a 5 star review, is the lack of information. Specifically, the should include the name of the suggested “book” moves. This shouldn’t be hard since it already knows the specific book move for the position. This is critical for learning which known opening you are playing (aka English). As an extra, it should provide historical information with link as to when a certain non-book position was reached that matches actual pro/championship games so one can learn how things evolved on those games.
Overall great app but leaves a sense of incompleteness.

I'd always admired the game of chess, but never found anyone to teach me to play. This app has been an effective, easily customizable teacher.

It's you vs. the computer, and the system suggests 4 moves for you to make on each turn. Suggestions are weighted -- the thicker the green line, the more heavily suggested the move, but the choice is yours to make. You can toggle the suggestion mode on and off move with each move, so you can reach for help only if you get stuck if you want. The system has dozens of difficulty levels, so you're not getting pummeled when you start, but you can get more challenging games when you're ready.

Written tutorials were also excellent, providing a brief, readable beginner's guide to how each piece moves.

The app has advanced features and modes I haven't explored yet. I've played dozens of games over the last few months and haven't had to pay real money for one yet. I'm just now running low on the free game credits. The app will be well worth the purchase price for me to continue.

This is so much fun. But I always loose the game. I think you should make it a little more easy? But I love the game and it is so much fun and it makes me feel better when I am sad. I LOVE the game. I have played chess for years and I have a lot of chess trophies 🏆🥇🏆🥇🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆. And I can play with out any trouble and I have a wheelchair and I can sit in it and I don’t need to have help to get out and play with my sister on the ground. I can play on my own and stay in my wheelchair and it’s way easier for me. I hate being in a wheelchair 🦽. Thank you for making this great game that I can play on my own. I LOVE the game.
