Ah thanks, I thought it would push the puzzle to the home screen on a daily basis, I was reading into it too much! lol Btw, the new Lessons interface is awesome. :)
andriod app update pushed out yesterday
Sort:
Woah, just discovered that we can run computer analysis of positions in completed games on the app (at least I think that's what it's doing), which is totally great... One bug though, it doesn't assign positions favorable to black a negative value everything comes up as a + number.
Looks like the notifications stopped working... yesterday I got the same move notification pushed to my phone three times, then nothing after that. Other apps are notifying fine and I tried rebooting my phone and reinstalling the app and they are still not working, so looks like it might be a server side issue.

Oh, we will fix that in next update that will be available this week.
Cool, thanks!
Tactics trainer freezes when you are solving a puzzle where the computer promote a pawn to something else. The clock doesn't stop but nothing happens on the board.
Also, when you try to solve a puzzle that requires an underpromotion, even if you choose the correct piece the system give an "Uncorrect answer" like you have promoted to a queen.

Is this a latest version? I checked your few recent tactics problems and couldn't find those with promotions. Can you give me a link here for that particulat tactic from your history? Thanks!
I think it is the last, It updated automatically.
I can't find them from my history, probably because since they freezes they aren't reported, I wouldn't know.
But I'm pretty sure every puzzle with that condtions, since I noticed this "common" pattern.
Since underpromotion puzzle are less, I would focus more on the other issue. When computer promotes, even to queen (so not only minor pieces) it blocks everything.
I don't know how to retrive Ids, when I will meet those puzzles again on a pc I will report the numbers.
This is one of the puzzles: http://www.chess.com/tactics/?id=37196

Got the latest version, thank you for the support and quick updates! Looks like the completed Daily Games are still not stable in the list, if I allow the home page to load without scrolling when I open the app they load on a delay but stay in the list, however if I scroll down when the home screen is loading or navigate around the app and back to home, they pop in for a second and then disappear.
Also, the app computer analysis is still showing a + for positions that evaluate favorably to black, making it much less useful for figuring out the strength of ambiguous positions.
I like the new update overall but lessons are not working and I cant find how to start a live game.
Interesting, the lessons are working fine for me... To start a live game, hit the orange New Game bar at the bottom of the Play screen and select a live time control on the screen that follows or select Create Challenge to specify more options like opponent rating range.

What happens when you hit lesson in course list? Also can you describe what do you see when starting a live game? btw latest version now is 3.1.13, which fixes live game doesn't start after challenge accepted.
With this new release the tactic trainer issue has became even worse.
Now I can't skip anymore the buggy puzzles, I have to do them wrong on purpose in order to go on with the trainer.
Furthermore, I arrived to a puzzle that crashed my application every time I tried to load it.
I had to reinstall the app.
Although I could skip this way the puzzle that crashed my app (I don't know which one is it, the app crashed before I could see it) the other issue is still the same as described above, but in this new version I can't skip the frozen one, so I have to purposely do them wrong.
This is one of the puzzles: http://www.chess.com/tactics/?id=65143&practice=1
When computer promote the pawn everything freezes...
The dev team probably knows about this one but the Daily Puzzle loaded initially when I updated and then switched to Tactics when I solved it and has not updated to a new puzzle. Really like having the Daily Puzzle on the app btw.
This is so by design :) If you want all other different puzzles, go to Forums - >Daily Puzzles and More Daily Puzzles.
