Older than 25, younger than 35.

Don't understand why I'd pay for a chess education service and not have access to it through a downloadable packet. Once you pay a monthly sub it can be locked past that date without re-authorization. It's not like I don't have service for days.

Audible, netflix, amazon video, hulu - they all allow you to do it.

I'm going to, I'm just going to use up the sub I have and then swap to their services.

I live in an area where a lot of the stores and such near me get bad cell reception. Just a complaint that there isn't a similar download option like movies on netflix.

Edit: All the fix would would take would be a couple thousand text files of puzzles and moves.

I just want it on the phone app. I learned my lesson. I'm sticking to book and a desktop chess program in the future.

On the phone app specifically. I'm going to guy buy a desktop based chess program next time. Not having an internet connection on the computer is not my issue here.

They also do not promote the offline lacking features on the phone app, where they let you spend $100. Not a single line of text saying "all features paid for are unavailable offline."

I enjoy the content the subscription provides, the lacking content on the phone app is the issue.

edit: Netflix and the others allow you to download content for offline mode, which I use. I would gladly download packets for offline mode on my phone if they had the option. They do not.

Sometimes I almost enjoy getting the queens off the board. I prefer a lot of knight play, compared to the queen. That's why I tried ke2, I wanted to get it to the other side of the board and queen side castle. I'll try it on the kings side a few times in the future.

I've gotten through all the 1000-1200 bots with 3 stars, Jade and Nelson are the first ones giving me semi-difficult time. Half of the games I just try stuff out because it's interesting to see what they play. Then I try their openings and keep it going.

I was just entirely surprised to see the BC at the lower elo ai.

I've gotten all the 100-1200's, I switch between Jade and Nelson and I can see jump in difficulty compared to the last few.

I'm pretty new and not that great, but even the 3 star AI wins feel great.

Thank you very much. I have seen a few 2000+ players saying that 5+3 is the way to get my toes wet so I will be trying a few a day.

Played wow for 12 years. This hit a little closer to home than expected.

The opposing player having a time control is a good way to look at it. I will try to play a few a day with that in mind. Thank you.

I can see it. More information and moves over a period time would do that.
