I’ve played hundreds of chess matches now over the last 6 or 7 months and can recommend this game. However, there are a few features missing and annoying game programming choices.
(Note that I only play in tournament mode so the following problems should be understood that they are for tournament mode only.)
- when you lose or win a game you are not given the choice to choose to exit the game so that you can see how you lost or indeed won the game. You have literally 1 second to glimpse the positions of the pieces at the end of the game, so sometimes you don’t get to see how you lost.
- likewise you are not given the option to get an automatic move-by-move run-through of the game, i.e. a step-by-step replay.
- and also you are not given a way to save the moves of the game in any chess notation file format or even to save the game moves within the app itself.
- the music and sound levels should be graded so you can choose the quietest levels easily. The slider controls for both music and sounds should be easily set to the quietest mode.
- the board swivels and tilts too easily and there is no way to click on something to set it back to the standard setting. There should be a button for this.
- there are some bugs which cause the app to crash or freeze as well.
- my final gripe is that this game has been programmed to try to draw the game by utilising the threefold repetition rule to draw far too often and far too early in the game. It often happens in mid game, and happens when you really have no way of avoiding it.
