"Have already downloaded 5 books and have found this the best chess book reader. There are a lot of books from different publishers available for purchase and the layout, ability to use an engine and ability to key in your own move are all very nice features. I was also very impressed that when a book I bought had a few glitches I immediately got a response to my query about it and a corrected version was downloadable within 48 hours."

"The fact you can download the book on multiple devices you own (unlike Gambitś app that limits 1 download per purchase) makes this a 5 star app. Gambit needs to follow this example!"

"The content is minimal and the only other option is to buy books from the store. Sadly the content from the store is also rather scarce. It would be great if one could upload their own content. As it is it`s basically unusable."

"After putting in a variation, the game will skip forward 2 moves and then crash. This is happening with the Bent Larsen book I purchased as well as with the free samples. Running Kit Kat/Galaxy Tab 4."

DESCRIPTION
Forward Chess is an interactive chess book reader. Read the book, play through book lines, AND try your OWN lines. The embedded Stockfish engine, one of the strongest chess playing engines on the planet, can be invoked at any time to provide an evaluation of the book’s moves or an evaluation of your own variations. Forward Chess is like having a book, a chessboard, and a powerful analysis tool together right in the palm of your hand!
One of the best things about Forward Chess is its ergonomic design. Forward Chess engineers designed easy-to-reach “Previous” and “Next” buttons that allow the user to quickly scroll through moves, and a one-touch snap-to-position feature that allows the user to touch a move and snap to a position. The resizable diagrams are easy on the eyes.
For large-scale navigation, Forward Chess allows the user to jump directly to specific chapters, scroll seamlessly through single chapters, and navigate long trees of variations with ease.
Forward Chess now supports note taking: creation, editing, and deletion. The app also supports multiple bookmarks per book.
Forward Chess currently features books published by the following fine chess publishers: Quality Chess, Chess Stars, Russell Enterprises, Chess Informant, New In Chess, and Mongoose Press.
Dozens of recent titles from these publishers are available inside the Forward Chess bookstore for purchase. A number of free sample books are also available for an immediate “test drive.”
Forward Chess promises to propel your chess training forward to the next level!
