Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.14/day in the week to Sep 1 → 0/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

BOT.vinnik knows me so well! I do indeed need to get a basic chess rules manual, and I am indeed an awful student. However, apparently I remind them of that little kid Karpov so I must be guessing something right. I don't know chess, I want to know chess, and this game throws me directly into the thing that appeals to me in chess, the strategic thinking - which is incredibly difficult for me - and thinking a few steps ahead. Now I have to say that sometimes I don't understand why some steps would be the best, since alternative steps would create the same result (I think) faster, but nevertheless I completely take responsibility for having no skills in the game and I probably don't see WHY those steps are best. Then again, if I were right, it doesn't mean that I don't learn anything from this, I learn a lot and I find it very relaxing and entertaining to break my brain over it and sometimes be reminded that I can take the opponent's pieces because I simply forgot. The game has some pre-made puzzles that put you into a situation and you are challenged to solve it by executing a certain chess-player's strategy, whether it's forking or pinning or whatnot. There's a decent number of strategies and each strategy has a couple of puzzles, the honest and somewhat (de)motivating feedback of BOT.vinnik is very appropriate and it gives a nice touch to the game. I definitely recommend it whether on sale or not and I'm excited to try the rest of the games in this series!

BOT.vinnik is a rude, sarcastic little swine. I can't wait for the version with Laika, who is a good dog and will be nice. Good program, though.
+ Several chess puzzles. - Almost no explanations. - Graphics, that tortures your eyes. - Toxic prick, that doesn't help at all and whom you can't disable, instead of usefull mentor. Is that supposed to be funny?
Игра BOT.vinnik Chess: Combination Lessons, к сожалению, разочаровала меня. Хотя я ожидал, что она поможет улучшить мои шахматные навыки, на практике все оказалось не так радужно. Во-первых, интерфейс приложения выглядит устаревшим и неинтуитивным. Навигация по урокам и комбинациям затруднена, и иногда приходится тратить время на поиск нужного материала. Во-вторых, качество обучающих материалов оставляет желать лучшего. Многие задания не имеют четких объяснений, и без должной обратной связи сложно понять, где были допущены ошибки. Кроме того, некоторые комбинации оказались слишком сложными или нерелевантными для моего уровня игры. Я ожидал более адаптивного подхода к обучению, вместо этого чувствовал себя потерянным и перегруженным. В целом, BOT.vinnik Chess: Combination Lessons не оправдала мои ожидания и не принесла желаемого прогресса в обучении. Я бы рекомендовал рассмотреть альтернативные приложения, которые предлагают более качественное обучение и удобный интерфейс.
Нравится вся серия, в этой игре появился русский язык, что облегчило восприятие терминов. Вот только раздражает 2-битная музыка, одинаковая для всех игр Ботвинника.
Judging by the look, I had hoped for more in-depth explanations, but the content turned out to be basic and simple, maybe good for beginners. For the price tag, connot expect more. but still good value for money
ok

A good selection of puzzles. Note though that this game is *hard*; you'll need to accurately evaluate a good amount of lines in a lot of the later puzzles. 1000 ELO or below, prepare for a challenge! (that rating group includes me)
