Horrible in app purchases
You get about 3 turns in before the game stops and bothers you to buy a variety of different license options. To top it off the framerate of the game is incredibly buggy
Crashes on startup
Crashes right away and shuts right down. iOS 4.2.1. Unplayable.
Almost Middle of the road
Performs well 90% of the time, difficulty levels are well set up. Needs an undo function as its easy to place a piece in the wrong spot. Often crashes in a game - usually when either side converts a pawn to another queen - and needs to be deleted and reinstalled.
Mr
Only flaw is when in match mode it spins the board around, an option to prevent that would be nice since i usually sit opposite my opponent
Really bad, do not buy.
Whenever I open it up, it loops me to the about tab and does not let me switch tabs. I recommend that you don't get this.
Pieces don't move right
The pieces don't move correctly in the drag-and-drop mode, especially the rook. Errors occur in the tap-and-touch mode, as well. More work than fun. I want a refund!
Good idea but terrible delivery. It was a waste of money.
Below is my review of the previous version. On this new one they have tweaked the interface so it is more responsive. I must say the game was flawless and I moved all my pieces with the first click.
I didn't get a chance to try the undo feature for when you make a bad move. I will rate this 5/5 stars and bring back to 3.5 if the undo doesn't work properly like on the last version

Constructive criticizm.
My last review was harsh but on the spot, this game was unplayable. The problems I addressed have been fixed and the interface is responsive and you can actually play the game.
A problem remains, the "undo" feature seems to be broken, when you play against the computer and you make a bad move and want to take it back, it undoos the computer's more. Not your own, you have to hit the undo feature over and over to the point where it bugs out.
To put it simply, the game is still broken, I say this because I've tried to play 3 games and haven't been able to finish a single one because it buged out, one time I went from being white to being black!
With that said, once they fix this in a future version, this could be the best chess game around (I've tries a lot of them), but as it is, it is still buggy.

Best looking chess game ever
I played the lite version of this game and decided to pay for the full version. It was definitely worth it. Not sure who these people giving it one star reviews are but it looks gorgeous and plays just as nice. I haven't had any lag issues at all. Plus there are no ads in this version.
Needs work
Beating the advanced mode on first game... with the paid version and it crashes each time about mid game... Please fix the bugs and make it a challenging game.
Walk away
My first chess game purchased on an iPad or iPhone. I'm disappointed. The board rotates at an extremely slow speed hampering play. It is so frustrating I didn't even bother to finish my first game. I can find nothing in the directions to stop this feature or to increase the speed of the rotation. Back to the store to read more reviews. Wish I could get my money back. Walk away.
