Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This is a very fluidly engaging game style for chess players. We like it a lot.
Had no idea how to play but Getting the hang of it now.
Pieces are easy to see, the computer plays at your level.
Great chess game!!! Very smart moves.
This is a beautiful board and so much fun when we can see what to do next. It has taken a while to come back to it as we were struggling to figure out how to end our losing game in the app. The training module is really helpful. We will have to try some more training before trying to play again. Update Sept. 21 25 This is still a beautiful game board.
We have only played one game so far but our opponent played realistically which is a great feature.
Excellent value and we love the lack of tiering. Not perfect but its an excellent tool to practice the game casually.
Been playing for over a year and still love the challenge, great game in our opinion.
Ads free with one purchase and no monthly subscription. Love it.
Fabulous endless entertainment.
So fun we really enjoy it it sharpens our brain.
This is an awesome app for tutorial. Hard to find that suited our needs for beginner.
We love everything about this chess game. Ive been playing since we were eight years old and 57 years old now we highly recommend this app.
Spent years when we were young playing chess with our friend. Couldnt find anyone as an adult that would take the time to learn. Its great to be able to play again.
This is the most challenging and versatile chess app we have used and we play a lot of Chess.
Exactly what we need to get better at it.
We like the app! Only chess app youll need.
Visual effects are easy to play with much easier than most. Level of play is enjoyable.
Wonderful game,Thank you for the app.
We love your chess game. We have improved. We use your Training mode a lot.your game can beat most if not all other games. You have greatly increased the playing level. Hard for us to beat at level one.
This chess game has a great computer to play against. Great teaching aid.
Won't load on ipad pro 10.5 (2015) os 17.5, but works fine on ios 18 and a modern ipad pro (2021 m1).
Solid game play. No annoying adds.
Beast game chess application ever on internet.
Im enjoying this chess app. It got a nice look and feel and helps you improve your game.
This game is under rated and you should check it out. You will not be disappointed. The two games on top can learn a lot from this game that has been improving steadily over the years. Maybe they should sponsor some tournaments or advertise more or get more grandmasters involved. Take the leap and download and try it out.
Fun way to play chess alone and hone your skills.
It doesnt need to be online. Great for fun on airplanes.
We love just going through the grandmaster games and seeing how they played. This is a great chess game app.
We are a beginner and we are using this app to learn to watch the other persons moves. We really like this app. We have only been playing for two weeks so we dont win very often. We are over 70 years old, this game is helping our concentration.
This site actually has two domains, older and new You can purchase both. In doing so you can play one app against the other and see how tactically the computer thinks. For training there is no app more versatile and easy to use. This engine is powerful enough to beat any human brain. Its not as powerful as the chess.com engine but it is a way better trainer. On this app you can view master games and you can at any point in their game sit in on either opponent and take the controls. This app has strategy building tools. You can back up in a game against the computer, you can switch sides. You can get directions from the app on best moves. Our game has improved because of this app.
Great game fair better than other games.
Easy to use great for learning the game.
We enjoy a lot to play chess with this program.
This is a no nonsense chess game with simple clean play. Love the user interface and style choices for the board.
A cool app and feature settings in a sea of iOS chess apps available. 5 stars if the board screen was a little bigger.
We liked in the past puzzle challenges such as mate in 4 moves or mate in three. Are there options for that? Thanks for the play challenges! Frank.
Great App has many features including learning lesson very good entertainment.
Only game we play not even Tetris comes close to keeping us this engaged.
Great 5 stars. Trading mode Is the best. Quick analysis and very helpful.
Love it. Makes us a better player.
Nice game – smooth moving board – have a few chess apps, this one of our favorites.
Best chess game we have used. Very strong engine. Many features and good graphics. Wonderful.
Great layout options and stats. Different modes not overly complex. Been using this one for 10 years.
Start and stop points should simply require touch points without the need to drag from start point to capture or destination. THE ABILITY TO CONFIGURE THE BOARD WITH EXTRA PREMIUM PIECES SHOWS HOW CLEVER AND QUICK THE NON-HUMAN PLAYER IS IN RESPONSE. THIS IS MOST IMPRESSIVE AND AN EXCELLENT TECHNIQUE TO MASTER WINNING STRATEGIES.
We thought that we would be playing other people instead of a bot. Its frustrating playing a bot, because you rarely win and the games go too quickly. Disappointed with this app.
Simple. Ads are small not to bad.
Difficult to change the speed of moves.
This chess app makes horrendous mistakes like a beginner! It should be fundametly corrected in order to become a Real chess app.
