Great way to improve your game
I’ve been a casual chess player for my whole life, but recently I’ve begun studying and training more seriously. There are a great many great chess teaching and training apps out there, and Dr. Wolf sits easily in the upper echelon. The in-game instruction is invaluable. The ability to review mistakes is, too. And the lessons are well composed and easy to follow. Highly recommend.
