  <p>It's very good for beginners. It has very simple interface and few game modes:</p>
  <ol>
  <li>In section &quot;Rules of chess&quot; you can play chess against very weak opponent and using unlimited hints from your virtual coach.</li>
  <li>In section &quot;Play vs computer&quot; first levels are very easy.</li>
  <li>In section &quot;Solve puzzles&quot; you can choose &quot;Easy&quot; puzzles. Most of them is one move puzzles.</li>
  <li>In section &quot;Practice&quot; there are many chess endgames for beginners: checkmate using two rooks, checkmate using one queen and etc.</li>
  </ol>

Body: <p>Knowing nothing but the rules of chess, I'd like to start learning a bit more. Some kind of tutorial app for my Android smartphone would be perfect as I can use it anywhere. The app should give <strong>theoretical explanations</strong> of basic concepts and thinking patterns (like controlling the center, pawn structure etc.) and preferably mix in a lot of <strong>example positions to solve.</strong> Free would be great, but I also would't have a problem with paying up to 10€ if it's worth it. Any suggestions?</p>

  Knowing nothing but the rules of chess, I'd like to start learning a bit more. Some kind of tutorial app for my Android smartphone would be perfect as I can use it anywhere. The app should give **theoretical explanations** of basic concepts and thinking patterns (like controlling the center, pawn structure etc.) and preferably mix in a lot of **example positions to solve.** Free would be great, but I also would't have a problem with paying up to 10€ if it's worth it. Any suggestions?
