Community Insight:
Im just going to be honest with ourselves because you guys have to download this game.
Bastante saludable muy relajante.
We do enjoy both your puzzles and the games . The game levels keeps us busy and helps us find our strength in the games. Im glad to have you in our phone.
Good game, but a lot of ads. There are not as many as there used to be, but still there a bit annoying. It is great practice for chess for our brother and sister.
Chess is our favorite game that we can teach a friend.
It is so go adds are really low we love it.
This game is great except for adds.
fun with 1 player but with 2 players you cant put the screen flat and play one player on one side and the other one on the other.
We love this app so much and we just downloaded it and we are happy with the results.

We think that when you tap on a piece that the places that the piece can go, lights up.
This game is super fun and great to learn with as well. 10/10.
Ive enjoyed playing chess on this app since we first started using it several years years ago and we hope to continue to use it.we have not seen a better chess app and we have used several over the years.
Can you add online game mode please.
Its great we love it but it the level you put it at is not true.
Really nice game similar to checkers.
This is awesome! Been playing this game for ages and it keeps us on our toes! One of the best by Optime! Been playing since we were 8 and have a hard time finding our level of play.
On baby gronk L rizz only in Ohio.
Chess is one of the best games in the world. We love playing while sipping ros gose and wish it was a chess club on broadway.
Im a new player and just learned about the En Passant. Our first review was 1 star out of ignorance. Ive corrected this and apologize.
This game is so much like chess and more! We love this game! Five stars.
We love this game called chess thanks you guys for being awesome.
We always loved the stink, the stinky was always stinky, but once we found this stinky it was a whole new level of stinky, this revolutionized our life, thanks for this stinky.
Too many distracting ads we mean why the heck did we get this if our brother cant remember why we even have this app because THERE.IS.TO.MANY.ADS! And we are NOT paying for anything! We LIKE this app butI repeat tomanyADS.
We can play chess any time we want! Beautiful app. Looks great.
We love the game, a little too many apps that pop up but over all its great . Really gives us something to do while Im at work.
Its very fun and you get to go against people all around the world definitely recommend.
This game will make you or break you. Checkmate.
Since we got this game, Ive gotten even better and better at chess. Its generally a good app and its got two player mode where you dont even have to play online you can just play with another friend. Thats amazing. Keep it up. We really like this.
We believe it delivers what it promises. Maybe add other modes like suicide or pawns versus queen.
This chess app is amazing 2024.
Its very fun and very interesting you can play it on many levels according to your own choices.
After being away from the game for a long time this app is helping us enjoy this historic game. Even if it beats us every time on medium difficulty.
Us and Mitchell are here in the sesion.
We may not be great at chess and it could be said that Im something of a chess addict. We wouldnt waste our time playing something like solitaire, should we have a moment to spare. This program is somewhat unorthodox and keeps us on our toes. We like it.
Im just try to make it a 5 star but we love it.
Its awesome chess is so good we love it that ill play it every day.
Super fun and challenging. We also teach our kids how to play by playing against them through the app.
Gracias. X. Brindar. Este. Sevicio. Y. La. Musica. Esta. Genial.
We love it ! Thanks for this game.
Excelente aplicacin,para abrir los canales de la mente y aumento del coeficiente intelectual.
Stop pushing other games on us. Its annoying.
The sounds are so beautiful and we love that you can challenge yourself with different levels.
Best game ever only two dollars and thats it no more paying.
It was awesome learning experience.
