You can use our chess game app "Grand Master Chess" (or "Grand Master Chess HD" on an iPad) to setup each of these compositions and try to solve it. Or use "Grand Master Chess" to test the solutions from each of these books. "Grand Master Chess" features a very strong chess engine rated at over 2500 ELO. It's probably the strongest chess engine in the App Store.

None of the texts available in this collection is ideal for learning about chess problems and problem solving. If you don't know how to play chess and want to learn then you should download "Grand Master Chess Beginner Collection".
