BUGS

Scores don't add up after win if app is closed on my Macbook.
Also total scores are different for same login in different devices.
Recently, some ads sound plays in bsckground while playing.. which is annoying

Crash loop after password reset.

Can’t get in after password reset. Now the game just crashes after login. Ideas?

I had it working fine on iPhone, but wanted to use same account on iPad. Didn’t know login so opened account on iPhone and saw which email address used, then logged out of app on iPhone thinking I’d be able to see my saved password. Bad idea apparently.

Don’t get

The game decides if you win or not. If you play cpu and get 3 queens it says you end in stalemate when you have the chance to win

Not recommended

Not a great app, very basic and hard on the eyes would stay clear absolutely rubbish app! Use a different one!

No Username Log in

I keep having to Create new accounts because it doesn't save emails and it doesn't let me log in by Username.

Playing with friends, it’s great. CPU, terrible.

This is a great app for playing with friends online. That said, there could be some improvements made. The stats page is completely useless and inaccurate. If you’re playing the cpu, the game is definitely unbalanced. The game will be declared a draw if you corner the king or eliminate most of the cpu pieces almost immediately. But if you get cornered, the cpu gets endless moves to win the game and avoid a draw. The cpu is mind numbingly predictable. There are other issues but on the whole, it’s a pretty decent app to connect with friends and have a good time so I don’t want to beat the developers up too much; they prob have no budget and it’s free to us. The very rapid draw declaration when I’m winning the game is super annoying.

Hate losing ranking points for no reason

I get up to a good rating by a great win and then log out and when I’m back in I see my ranking disappear and go back to a lower score.
Sometimes my ranking just loses a random ten points.

Taking my points

I’ve literally won the last 3 games and it’s subtracting my points. Something isn’t right.

Too many problems

For one I used to be rated over 4000, I took some time off due to work and when I come back I’ve lost over half of my rating. Now I’m in the 1750 area and I can’t get over 1800 due to my points declining even AFTER WINNING. There’s also no punishment to people who will play out 90% of a game and then once they’re in a losing position they’ll just abandon the game while I sit and wait for the time to run out. It’s not even an enjoyable app anymore.

i have so many complaints about this system it’s basicly

it’s basicly that they fail in every form to function at everything from knowing whether its players are online to keeping track of points to even functioning as a most basic rule engine there are literally games wher i’ve taken off the board because of glitching and the game doesn’t end and don’t even get me started it’s great for i want online chess now but besides that you might aswell delete your acount the minute you make it cause it’s worth about as much to you i had a streak of 40 games and my acount streak is currently 3 this app makes me want to rip my hair out at the level of its malfunction and the fact that they ignore all the errors tells me that the dev team give no shucks about the actual app as long as it’s up all theycare about
