Chess

The game is hours of entertainment for me that makes me use my mind for some good fun where you actually have to think not another mindless zombie game where all you need to do is kill zombies. I mean I guess that's great for kids. But Adults need more mental stimulus to hold our interest. I wish more people took the time to learn how to play chess because it's a really great game to challenge your mind. I love it!!!!!

I love this chess game... BUT... the difficulty level jumps dramatically from the lowest level to level 3. If the developers want normal people to enjoy this game, they need astronomically smaller jumps in difficulty. I'm not great, but I would think I should be able to win in level 3. But I don't think I can currently. This game is perfect if you are Bobby Fischer or Boris Spassky. But most of my friends don't like it because they can't get above level 1.

Good app for practicing. I like the tutor function but it lacks explanations. The ads are skippable. Pleasant board and piece options. The AI does some weird stuff sometimes, like refusing to defend itself 4-5 moves from checkmate but it's mostly good. I would like to see more info, such as move analysis in the "review game" feature and tutor. Both Hint and Tutor seem to do the same thing, sometimes offering a different move suggestion but with no explanation.

No problems with functionality. I've seen chess apps that don't even setup the pieces correctly. This game play is good. Graphics are nice without being too much. I play levels 1&2 to build confidence. Levels 3&4 are a good challenge for me. Perhaps you can handle the higher levels. The player should be able to pick an opening that the computer sticks to for 5+ moves. Game analysis would be nice too. For a fun, free app to pass the time though, this might be for you.

By far the #1 Chess app on the Play Store. My only complaint is that it doesn't have an optional setting to "confirm / submit move" in multiplayer matches, especially with how easy it is to accidentally tap the wrong square. Other than that, flawless application. Also, PLEASE offer a paid, ad-free version!

The single player game is good. The multi-player game has no fair matching logic. Most of the opponents you are assigned in quick matches are rated or close to master level in skill. For a beginner/novice this can be very discouraging. Many multi-player opponents will make one move and then leave the game for an extended period of time or even never return.

Updated phones, and the new version just doesn't have it. Different look, different sounds, different animations and now, It seems like choosing any level over 2 actually selects an option to flip a coin, with heads being level 1 and tails being level 10. So choosing a level 3, which used to consistently be a good game for a bathroom break, I either get an opponent that essentially just vomits and collapses, or I get high blood pressure because I'm facing robot M.
