Graphically and interactively, this is the BEST chess app Ive found. The various boards, pieces and special effects to choose from make the game fun. The cannons and emojis in game allow communication and another level of interactivity. I love capturing a piece or checking my opponent then firing a cannon barrage at them. GrEAT game!! EDIT': FOUND A HACKER AND NO REPORT FEATURE! ! FIX THIS edit2 NO, you add an in game report feature. I dont go to websites to write report tickets for hackers.

Not a bad app but the bullet games especially 1min bullet and 30sec bullet games the clock seems not to be fair sometimes,there are games when I am ahead on time and doesn't seem as if the clock goes all the way down to 0:00 before losing some games and also pieces not moving when you touch it to move, very irritating!!!

I keep ending up in tournaments when I'm playing a normal blitz or rapid game for no reason my match ALWAYS freezes and i have to close app and go back in to the game to continue playing just for it to freeze constantly. It happens all the time every single day I've lost a lot of rating because of it it's to much to bear now I love this app and have never had this problem before tournaments have been added for some reason. Please do something about it. 😔

It's a good game. I love the ui and the themes and visuals. But please add option of multiple premoves in game and option to see last move in game like back arrow so that we can view what moves opponent played and see the previous game position in case we miss it.also please add move conformation option for each move in case of finger slip and unintentional moves. Also does the game have any cheat detection engine? There are cheaters in online chess everywhere. Other than that this game is 👍

Game is an ad haven. I've been playing this game for quite a while and it's always been really cool. I love how cartoony is, and the fact that you can level things up, get new skins, and new effects. It's overall a really awesome chess app. But the ads are getting way too out of hand, if you dial it back a little I'll give you five ⭐'s

If you like to play chess for fun and don't want to mess up your rating, then this is the app. Fun to play and great visuals but, there are no report and people can get pretty toxic even if there isn't a chat box... please don't add a chat box. The analysis is limited but still very helpful. The cosmetics are great and the puzzle are good place to get the feel of chess. The puzzle you must unlock and it takes a bit to earn enough gems💎. Overall good app.

This has been a very good chess app but just recently there seems to be a problem with the black player not getting to see the first white move. In the games where I was white the black player was timing out in the first 15 seconds, when I was finally given black after a few matches I realized that they were not seeing the move and having to plan your first move without knowing the opponents. Also consider some sort of contact point in the app so we don't need to use the review space for this

On 5 separate occasions now, my opponent and I have had less than 5 seconds of time. So here we are, battling it out to beat the other on time versus checkmate. My opponent's time will show 0, and I will have roughly 1 second left, but they still get a chance to move, which then causes me to lose. I'm not sure if it's a glitch, but it's very frustrating to me that my score goes down when clearly I should have won on time. Please fix this or I will be uninstalling this app.

Back after a long grind for achievements. Cheating is still rampant and more obvious than ever! I would love to know why I get one move away from checkmate in a tournament, my opponent forces a draw through repetition, and he is declared the winner. There are no points awarded for forcing draw through repetition. Only 1/2 point for stalemate. There should be a tie breaking match. This is an aesthetically pleasing game, just needs more attention to detail. Also, my matches won froze at 4920.

Seemed to work just fine, bought the no ads purchase, then suddenly it keeps saying it cannot connect, but I know I have an internet connection because it is the only app having this problem. It'd have a much higher rating if I could actually play the game. Edit: It works now... it has inconsistent servers, but that is much, much better than it outright not working, and it is a lovely app when it works.

The game needs better animation for each piece so that I can easily tell when and where the opponent has moved. I hear a sound, but don't see the movement which can easily cause me to miss the changes in the position of the pieces. The pieces just suddenly disappear and reappear in a new position. This is not good. It's worse when time is running out as has caused me to lose games that I could've won because I didn't register the changes in the positions of the pieces on the board.

This game has great gameplay mechanics, a ton of puzzles, & a lot of customizations, BUT the amount of mandatory, unskippable 30+ second ads makes it absolutely unplayable. The daily puzzles are designed to ensure even strong players (I'm +1600) need to undo at least a few moves, but that requires you to watch ads. Even when you do get a winning position, it stalemates you in the most preposterous ways & ads pop-up in the middle of games during a time crunch. It's beyond outrageous!!!

Mostly good... in my opinion it's the best chess app. But it needs a minor fixes. You should be able to report players who are purposely doing annoying things like starting a match and then letting the timer run for 15 minutes without making a move. Another thing is that two friends should be able to have either unlimited time or the easy Tempo setting. Lastly it is very often where you will gain a reward but nothing actually increases. I want to match right now and didn't even win a key

The game isn't bad by any means, but I am not a fan in the least of the little things, such as if you blunder, it gives you an option to take back your last move and make another. 3 times per game as long as you have those items...im sorry, but that's not chess, nor is it a learning tool. Part of learning and playing is blundering a piece, or making an inaccurate move, and having your opponent punish you for it.

It's difficult to win, which means the elo-rating may be accurate--at least at the highest level. And it's fun figuring out what Bobby Fischer's best moves were. The biggest upset involving this game is if you don't finish your match and put the game on hold, when you get back to it you may be disappointed when the system starts your game over.

Seemingly "magically" reveals checkmate opportunities that weren't apparent to me before. It definitely provides an additional skill set to my chess game. Although I fully trust there will be more and more to learn from this app , I've been spending hours and hours mastering maneuvers of the "Sacrifice Class" ,at least that's what I like to call it : it illustrates the art of strategically losing pieces in order to accomplish what you ultimately play the game for --- to win.

Honestly I like the idea of the app. But the amount of times this thing goes offline. Every time I move a piece it goes offline. I have good internet. I have other chess apps, it never happens. About 1 in 6 games I lose because of connection issues. I'm tired of trying. This is a bug that needs to be fixed. Besides losing games. How much time have I lost on my games because I'm spending 30 seconds 5 times a game just trying to restore the connection. I really wanted to like this app. But Im done
