    Impressive app!
    Great for kids and also people who love chess! Always people available to play in the live league which is rare on these types of chess apps.
  • Great app and really teaches you chess

    This game has taught my kids (6 and 8) to play chess. They compete against each other as well as playing the live option to join the chess leagues.
    Great app that teaches the traditional game!
