Great chess aid with a notable flaw
Enjoy all the training and options, however it’s terrible to use on an iPhone. The screen display (4.7”) is too small to consistently identify pieces on the board without spreading fingers. Then you lose the board positioning. The zoom/shrink/fight the rotation takes all the joy out of using the app. Not expensive, but the limited use makes me wish I had gone for the “lite” version.
Not going to get an IPad just to use this app.

Hours of fun
SparkChess is a fun and versatile game. It’s good for learning and can be a great challenge!
Excellent game
Love this game! The only thing that I can think is superior to this game is HIARCS chess!
SparkChess
I just bought the pro edition and can’t even play multiplayer online
Help
App won't open. Dec please help. I'll give a good review because I like the browser version but I might change it later
Downgrading
I loved playing SparkChess on the browser version. This is one of the first Apps I installed on my iPad. I recommend it to the students that I teach. I had a problem with an older version, but it was fixed. This is one of my favorite chess apps. It has a ton of features.
Response from developer
I'm sorry about that issue. It was fixed two years ago. I'd love if you could try SparkChess again and revise your rating. A 5-star rating helps us keep the development going!
Fix the bug with the 50 move rule
The 50 move rule is only 25 moves for some reason. This can turn a win into a draw. Please fix.
Response from developer
This issue was fixed in version 12.1.2. The new version 14.0.0 brings a lot of new features and improvements and I'd love if you could try SparkChess again and revise your rating. A 5-star rating helps us keep the development going!
Latest update broken
The latest update when in multiplayer mode pops up a finished message and blurs the board once the game is over. It didn’t used to do this. This prevents you from then saving the game exporting it for review as once you click the ok button it has reverted to the select opponent screen and the move history is lost.
