This app is priceless. Unfortunately, it's above my rating (I'm rated 1547 on Chess King apps, but that's because I started with the beginner courses and finished the "Tasks". I'm actually only a 700-800 player). I have just begun studying the Sicilian Openings; I can't wait until I'm proficient enough to understand these tactics and reasons for each move, e.t.c. I'll have to wait. Like the advertising says, this IS for true intermediate and Club Players. I love Chess King apps, though. ♟♟♟♟♟
