Community Insight:
We've never played a chess game that makes illegal moves to stop you from winning. Unbelievable.
Thay are lieing don't get it's not easy because we never win even on the eases mode.
It's a good chess app. Doesn't take our much for a good chess app but it's cool.
Plays like a human, losses like a program. Overall play is competitive enough to give you a challenge on hard. Easy to use interface but lacks options of chess boards and pieces, at least how about some color variation please.
Unfortunately, there are so many better overall chess programs out there at this time. This one is badly in need of a complete overhaul.
Love the graphics and music.. The A.we. Plays well, but the game does not understand en pessant capture moves. The capturing piece moves correctly but the captured piece remains on the board. Seems like basic programming. This game was almost good.
Ohhh yeah people first one who plays this rate 1 star you never know this game so give us a refund.
Although there are a lot of chess this one is the best. We are not here for the five away but scene we are already here can we have doodle jump please.
Lot of fun just like the one on our computer.
We live it really simple and fun. We're gonna tell our step dad to cause he loves chess and can play it on his iPad. By Ashley.
This is now our FAVORITE chess app! Thank you for the great free game.
En passent doesn't work correctly. It lets you make the move but doesn't take the opponents pawn. So far, we've tried two chess apps and both had serious flaws. Also, this app crashed on us when we bumped one of our pieces when it was the computers turn. It moved our piece and crashed when we tried to undo the move. Good competition but can anyone make a chess app that works.
We played several times using the same moves and each time the knight did not move correctly. We undid and redid the same move with the same results. The queen seems to be able to move sideways and up or down in the same move. When the rook and king trade for a safety they don't change spaces, they end up in the middle of them both. Not recommended.
Computer plays by its own rules it is not that good.
It won't let us take his pice away so we suggest you should not get this app.
What a truly piece of garbagge.
