Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This game is SUPER fun. We like how its generally very fast. Perfect for when you want chess, and you want to cut to the action immediately. However, the fact that theres only Pawns, Rooks, and Queens really makes the game feel incomplete and stale after a while. While it is fun, it gets repetitive quickly. Plus, while the game generally goes by fast, we often avoid putting the AI in check, since the check banner fully stops the game to play a really slow animation. We think itd be better if they and you could still move during the check notification. In addition, some of the achievements are completely unrealistic, like playing 1,000,000 matches. Assuming every match takes 30 seconds (which is a generous pace), youd have to play for almost a full YEAR to complete the achievement. And thats assuming you play the game 24/7 with NO breaks, and a consistent average pace of one game every 30 seconds. The later play x matches achievements are COMPLETELY unrealistic. We know Ive been a bit harsh here, but thats because we genuinely see potential in this game! Its a super fun concept! If the achievements were made more, well achievable, and if there was a mode to randomize the starting position with different pieces, this would be a perfect game. But as of now, it gets old pretty quickly.
Lots of, easy to play and very addictive.

This game is so fun, it is nice to have three levels of difficulty. We wish you could randomly have white or black or make it alternate, but it isnt a big deal to manually change it.
Great. Love it. Good practice. Going strong. Cant quit. Excellent still playing still enjoyable more still playing excellent, continued fun. Still enjoying it.yes.
We love the entire concept of this game. Very quick and fun. We enjoy it very much! We wish someone made a physical board for this kind of chess.
Great game and adjustable to your ability.
In this game your kid will have a chance to learn strategics and basics ofChess. It gives education to those who want to learn chess. Can you.
We have had it for 10 days and Im enjoying it a lot, it has made us loose fear of playing chess, it is fast and interesting. Comparing to other games we like that there is no luck involved, it is all up to you.
Easier than we expected, but still super fun.
We think this game is amazing just to say.
It is nice and quick on medium mode. We very much recommend.
We enjoy full chess, but we find a full game can take a little too long.
Wish there was a way to make it more challenging.
As a beginner chess player, mini chess gives us extra practice and helps with our alertness in strategy..thanks.
Needs more versions, like same board but with bishops, or S-Chess pieces, or knights maybe. Great game. Also, a bit too easy. Computer blunders queen on even hard mode.
This is just the thing for road trips with our family, and it perfect quick game when waiting for food at the restaurants!! Thanks again for the FREE Version! Up to date, this also makes a great App playing in the waiting room at the Drs offices :P.
Everything is awesome buuuuuuut it wont let us make Legal moves if it makes the computer lose.
Its fun enough to play a couple games in 10-15 minutes to get your mind working in the mourning. Dont have to be a chess master to enjoy this version and does not take ad long as a traditional chess game.
No knights or bishops? Not a great computer player. Good idea, but didnt doesnt meet the potential.
Great short game of chess for when you want a quick game and not spend hours over the board.
This game is absolutely fun , its name holds true. As a request , can you add a difficulty that is extremely hard.
Delightful Thank You Xspyridongermankukuzelis.
It is a quick and easy simple pocket game to play. We would wish you could create your own board but it wouldn't go on a real leaderboard and maybe add a feature to play real chess. But still 5 stars no doubt.
We used to love this game and played all the time. But it started video ads on top of the banner ads. We refuse to play video ad apps. Congratulations you lost a user. Im considering dropping all of your apps.
Love this quick game… We are really getting back into enjoying regular chess but it takes too long. This game is perfect for when you just crave the mental stimulation of chess but really don't have the time to play a full fledge chess game. In this game we love to make quick moves and in a few minutes it's time to play another match. Suggestions: 1. Add a Knight (but maybe that will take away from the speed of this game). Or have the option to play with ALL Knights instead of all Rooks. 2. Add a few more tougher levels.
Cute game for beginners learning chess.
Who would create a chess app with the queen positioned on the wrong color? Major fail.
AI could be improved. We love it.
Interesting take on a simplified chess game. Would be good if the AI were not so poorly programmed. So easy to beat it's really only good as a trainer for young kids.
This goofy game does not use Knights. It uses Rooks for nights instead. So you have four Rooks but no Knights; all those moves are lost. That's ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous this game is useless.
