Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Not only does the app function well, but they didnt over do it with the ads. Worth it.
Its realy good game but when we were playing offline app make banned move so we get this app 3.
Too many ads theres one every like 3 moves.
Absolutley terrible. We played fir about 30 seconds, wouldnt let us make our move, and had 2 ads. Awful.
Computer King moved into line of check, simply because our rook was pinned. This assumes that there would be a next move after we killed the king. . Rule 3.9 in World Chess Federation handbook.
Downloaded the app, couldnt make it through one game because of the amount of ads. Very annoying, dont waste your time.
Every move had ads, deleted it.
Played level 5 and made it 3 moves in then got and ad. Couldnt castle on queen or king side. Immediately realized this is a trash app.
Do not download this app unless you want to spend more time watching horrible gaming ads than actually playin chess. Terrible job by the producers.
The app is ok. (This was our first review) we changed our mind! The app is horrible! One problem with the app is the fact that the pieces and the squares are the same colors??!!! A black pawn on a black square is practically invisible. A beige and green or some other scheme that is not black and white would be great! The issue that made us delete the app is the obnoxious ads! If you play the computer, the ads interrupt your game every 5-6 moves and sometimes after every move. THEN the ads are loud and disruptive. Im glad we discovered this while playing at home and not in a meeting where quiet is important! Dont download the app- its not worth the time! There are plenty of chess apps that are far better.
Ads are understandable since it might be the only way for the devs to make money but putting them between moves in a match can be extremely annoying.
The ads are nonstop! Every several moves that you make, an ad appears and stays there for a good 30 seconds. It really throws off your concentration. Whats worse is the fact that theres no purchase for removing ads! Find another chess app.
Does not follow rules. AI will castle through check. It also only promotes pawns to Queen. It never will find someone to play when Pressing find random player. AI is also not as skillful as advertised.
Ad length and frequency makes enjoyable play impossible.
Spamming us with a barrage of ads every single second, its absolutely disgusting. Stick to chess and not trying to be money hungry, seeing as how no one installs this.
Long, loud Ads interrupted the game every three moves in our first game.
It prevents you from doing moves and there is a ad after every move.
When start with someone but annoying us from commercial advertising. Its scam! Make you or us lost game. Not worth to play! Give you 0 star.
Plays an ad after almost every move. Takes forever to actually play a game.
Put ads at the end of games not every 3 turns, we would give 0 stars if it was an option.
Terrible. The computer will make illegal moves (putting itself in check mainly) and prevent you from making legal moves for no reason. There are much better programs, dont waste your time.
We downloaded to play with others but the ads make it impossible to enjoy a game Of chess. Deleting!!! Not worth your time. There is many better ad free chess games.
Started our very first game only to be immediately hit with a full page ad. Needless to say we uninstalled.
Would be nice to be able to play anything in todays world without seeing ads after every move or play its ridiculous! – we understand if we want them to go away we need to pay some stupid fee but what happened to the actual free to play games years ago.
This game is absolutely littered with ads.
We watched 5 ads before 1min of play. This is ridiculous. DELETE.
Computer makes illegal moves when its about to lose. Thought we were crazy the first time, then kept happening. Great if we could actually win when Im supposed to.
Uninstalled cause the game straight up cheats. It moves itself to move into check and then when we tried to take the king it wouldnt let us because it wouldve put us in check.
This game has got to be the worst chess game we have ever played in our life. Its not difficult, but it is infested with ads upon ads upon ads, AND the game literally cheats to make sure that the game will end in a stale mate. Bad game.
Spent more time watching ads then looking at the chess board. Played one game and deleted.
Wouldnt allow us to castle 3 moves in. Doesnt recognize it as a legal move. Much better chess games out there.
One of the weakest chess games Ive ever played, at least its free.
Yeah, we love playing chess when every third move, a gold clash ad takes over our screen.
Having ads between moves is absolutely ridiculous. Deleted the app before we even finished the first game.
This is probably the worst chess app in the iTunes Store. Doesnt have the chess puzzles feature that was advertised. It was probably only made to harvest emails to sell. Dont waste your time with this one.
You cant win. Even with an obvious win it keeps saying draw by stalemate. Absolute crap game.
If we could give this no stars we would. When the game knows its about to loose it blocks you from making the sequence of finishing moves. All completely good and legal moves. It would only let us make moves if the favor of the computer. No wonder its advertised as unbeatable on the Facebook ads. Please fix.
Was getting an ad every 1-2 moves. Takes away from the enjoyment of the game. Do not get this app.
It's chill, but sometimes it just preventa you from doing a certain move for no reason.
Pop up after every other move..not for a beginner..even on easy it plays the same as normal.
Ive never left a review before, but this game, with all of its ads, is so terrible we felt like we absolutely had to. We immediately deleted it, we probably saw five ads in the first two minutes of play.
First game basic mode try it out. Full screen ad for golf game almost every other move…wait for a the x and back to game. Youre kidding us right? Deleted app.
Didnt finish one game and deleted.
Ads pop up full screen, in the middle of the game. Are you serious? Are you serious? Unreal. This is pure trash.
Couldnt play through 1 game without getting ads after every move. Complete trash.
A little too easy. Otherwise, not bad.
The Black/White queens position is incorrect. Black goes on black square, white on white square.
Far from intuitive ai, frequent illegal moves and lack of update for current systems makes for possibly one of the worst options on the market.
The people who created this game dont even know how to play because there is no ability to castle your king or preform en passant.
