Chess Pro by Mastersoft Reviews

Great Chess Game. Would like to be able to reset all stats from menu.


This chess app is perfect. It has great graphics, it helps teach you and guide you toward becoming a better player, and provides a lot of features while being fun, quick, and easy to use. We Highly Recommend it.


Best chess app offered. Great graphics.


The computer is easily adjusted to our skill level.


So far seems to be a great game.


The Coach feature provides an outstanding tutor. Setting levels of play results in realistic changes in opponent playing skill. Altogether an excellent tool for learning & polishing.


Graphics and engine remind us of the later editions of Chessmaster. Happy with the purchase and would recommend.


It’s beautiful to look at and play! So much fun!


Very good game but it kept bugging us to write a review. We did this just stop that annoying popup.


Only thing we would change is a confirmation b4 undoing a move since it prevents the game from being logged if u win.


Love the app, but hate being pestered to write a review.


We play every day only thing it needs is BE ABLE TO PLAY AGAINST OTHER PEOPLE LIKE WORDFEUD :) that would get this 5*


Great tools to try various moves in training mode.


The only thiing we dislike is the inability to make the board larger. It will not expand and is too small.


We have played this game on our iPhone for a while. We do like it very much. For MacOS we recommend to fix the font for "TAKE BACK", "FLIP", etc… It does not aligned will on the screen. Keep the great work up!


We are using our mac computer right now and we really need for this game to be FULL SCREEN but there is no way cuz of fade button that was for full screen which is green button on upper left. Please fix so we can use it for full screen… Rght now it is just small/med size, not full at all! We do love this chess very much and so glad to have it back!


Great for being free! It is a little dark.


Great app with lots of learning modes. We like that it has an iphone and ipad version too. We purchased it because it is the only one with a Mac app, but the Mac app really needs a full screen mode. Then it would be 5-stars.


Good 3D chess set but needs to be able to mazimize view to a full screen.


It would be great in the training mode if there was a voice explaining why it wants us to make one move or another.


We really want to like this game and give it a higher rating, but the game’s positive aspects are plagued by two annoying issues with the game window: 1) On our Macbook Pro with latest OS-X, the window is dark. Even with the theme turned to the highest setting and our screen at brightest, it looks like we’re playing by candlelight. 2) The window is relatively small and cannot be resized–nothing like the App store image of the game on a iMac monitor. What the heck, people?


Not sure why the developers forgot to give us full screen feature. As a result, it is so tiny it’s very hard to see the board on a large screen. Even on our MacBook Air the game only takes up a quarter of the screen. This is a simple UI fix, which would make the game that much more enjoyable..


We just bought this app for our MAC. Not only did our entire remaining gift card amount get expended (almost twice what this app was priced at…. But we cannot open it – it keeps crashing.


It has all tools to improve ur game. Analysis + Estimate ur ELO.


Just started using this chess game and so far we have had no issues with it. It is worth the price.


Everything thing you need without too many bells & whistles. True to the timeless and classic game that is chess.


The chess app is still our Goto app! Still consistent as ever.


We think the title speaks for itself. We use this app for everything.


The pro version has some nice features, and we’ve enjoyed playing rated games with the rating increasing incrementally with each game. We like to save the PGN files for later analysis, and one quirk is that Mastersoft Chess is listed as the white player for every game, even if the computer is black and Im playing white.


We enjoy playing this game we think that’s it is fantastic.


Chess is an outstanding app. We recommend it highly. However, in the latest update the Animation setting does not allow enough fine control (a change from the earlier version). When the slider is set to 8, animation is quite slow. But when moved to the max setting, animation is exponentially faster.


This is an excellent chess app.


Well, if you like chess as non pro, this is a great way to test your brain capability.


We are a novice/ beginner but we are blown away by the ability to download all of the past and present grandmasters games back to the early 1800s It is possible to control in real time the moves. Too many additional features to discuss.


We rarely play chess. We know some beginner strategies like attacking the middle. But we just played our first game in the app under the watchful eye of the training mode. We were warned four different times that the coach doesnt recommend that move. Every single time was a simple unforced error that would have lost our piece with no gain. Near the end of the game, the coach was silent. Undo a couple of times gave the same help the coach gave earlier to save our pieces. The end result was we won the game and felt like we earned it. Without the help we would have lost a lot of pieces and likely the game. Now we are motivated to play some more and improve our game.


This app helps us sharpen our skills in between live opponents. Great features and easy to use.


Es una excelente plataforma de ajedrez los felicito la volvera a comprar.
