Good idea for chess learning as levels and achievements keep kids engaged. However there are issues, the worst being multiple solution possibilities while the game is only forcing one of them. Also the pieces should be easier to recognize and puzzels better balanced. Sometimes the right moves are embarrassingly obvious in one level while it's quite challenging just to read the positions of pieces in next one. Which may lead to "trying" moves without proper analysis to spare time...

Love it!! Thanks for all the hard work. One little but important thing, we should be able to go back to main menu instead of only be able to quit the app while in a game. And it should allow you to do the check in the possible ways to do it not only the "right " of the puzzle. Thanks a lot!!

Doesn't even accept other variations than the exact one it knows, which makes it redundant, as guessing which possible variation is chosen isn't chess relevant... + other unnecessary things like timeouts just in order to make progress more sluggish As a chess player I cannot recommend this...

The puzzle's are nice, but a bit opinionated. Sometimes in a puzzle there are no difference ma between moving one square and two squares but it still doesn't allow you continue until you move to their favorite square, which makes it a little annoying.

It's fun. I didn't expect to see a puzzle app would be this featureful. It's also doesn't force to watch ads. Some ppl may be annoyed to see the time consuming UI and just want to solve everything simultaneously though. Anyway a chess puzzle collector would try this to the end for sure.

Very fun... but there are levels where some moves are simply equal and it considers them wrong. Also the battle levels seem a bit off since I'm less than a beginner and completely crushed grandmaster level every time I played against it.

Only got a dozen puzzles in or so, the game kept freezing for no user-discernible reason, in-game, in the menu, anywhere. The music would keep playing but nothing responded and I'd have to restart the app. It also seems like the "correct" answer for some of the mate puzzles might not account for all valid alternate moves. (Edit: nope nvm I was blocking the queen with the knight and the king could have moved there and wow chess is hard guys.) Game definitely has potential with some bug fixes.

It is nice, I guess, but it doesn't let you play what you want, whether the move is right or wrong. And that's annoying 🙄😤😠. Just fix that, or else the game is great. I love the puzzles, unlocking chests, new flags and the challenges 😍😍😇

I like the idea and dynamics. Just needs to account for multiple solutions and it's not very easy to distinguish the appearance of the king from the queen. Also it sometimes relies on bad reactions from the bot to complete the puzzle in a specific way.

Was pretty good but needs lot's of work. It's just awful staring at the board set. 1 An option to change what it looks as the eyes really strain to engage. 2 I've looked at too many puzzles where there are more than 1 solution that are disregarded. A solution should be a report puzzle/ review button of some sort. Puzzle 49 for instance: Nxe7 Kh8 Nxf5 Qg5 Qxg5 Rg8 after which 2 options for mate exist in which my favorite wasn't permitted: Bg7 RxG7 QxG7# but Qf6 Rg7 QxG7#

All is good but in some levels it forces us to move the way they want no matter whether that move is wrong or right. levels like level 26, it forces to move us in a wrong way. And opponent also makes nonsense defence on our forced nonsense Attacks. If those moves are correct then I challenge you to play that situation with me and I'll play in place of computer and show you what is the correct defense of your forced nonsense move

It happens that there are mutliple possible checkmates in the given attempts, but I'm forced to only take the approach which the app chose as correct, while all other approaches are invalid and take away the "energy" (and makes me lose time). EDIT: It's actually happening really often, giving 1* instead 2* until a solution is found.

The time for solving the puzzles is really short. For most people it takes a few seconds just to figure out the psitions on the board. Also, the fact you have to wait really long after you've made a few mistakes is just super annoying and makes it hard to enjoy the game.

The game is fine so is the rewardsystem, it's not as predatory as other mobile apps. But if the opposition doesn't play optimally, like leaving my pieces on the board when they are hanging or at least would be a good trade to prevent mate it just becomes extremely frustrating to play lines you could never use in any real game because your opponent would never allow them. Would have bewn cool if the oppoaite side played good chess but like this it's just not instructive.

The game is fine, but I find it extremely frustrating when you have this reward of time. Your stuck in the game. If you leave the game the timer keeps running. I guess the programers don't have anything else to do. Like return to work after lunch. You fix this and I'll change my rating to 5. Oh yeah.. when you change the reward timer change the puzzle timer to when you make your first move.. there is no time to study the board..

Good app and the puzzles are nice but creating the app in the form of a game wasn't really necessary. After we solve a puzzle, an irritating music begins to play and we collect coins and we have to manually enter a new level... It just disrupts our concentration. It would have been nice if no such thing was there and the puzzles autoplayed after one another.

Over the last 24 hours, the program has failed to load for some reason. After tapping the game's icon as usual, the "Loading..." screen just stays on-screen but the program does not initiate. It has performed nearly flawlessly until now. I have completed 200+ of the individual exercises so I hesitate to simply reinstall. Any workarounds you can suggest? Thanks for any help you can offer and, withal, thanks for crafting a great chess-puzzle program. Robert

The puzzles sometimes have multiple solutions, but the program only recognized one path as "correct". So many times I will waste a couple lives on good moves, counted incorrect (...with the exception of the final mating move. It is always mate, even when there is multiple options). I'd guess this "bug" happens in about 1/10 puzzles. I imagine the programming to get it to recognize ALL mating paths is very labor intensive, so I kinda get why they haven't fixed this. Overall wonderful app!

Fun, challenging, educational. However I'm taking away a star because when you actually play chess against the computer in this game and get to the tougher levels the computer takes forever to decide on a move. I might sit and wait for 5 minutes or more a move. As an educational app to help you see moves that in the past you didn't see, this app will help you with that.
