Fixed DLC?

Kinda frustrating how almost all features are locked behind a pay wall but every time I try to buy something i just get a message that says I can’t connect to the App Store
I love this game on psn but would like to be able to do, I don’t know, anything on my iPad

Game support seems to have ended

It seems that this game is no longer being maintained by the developer, which has left it quite buggy.

Attempts to make in-game purchases are met with App Store errors. Also, push notifications don’t work which makes correspondence chess impossible.

The last update was three years ago. Pity because it looks like a slick program.

Nice, great, but...

Just started the app, I love the challenging tournament, but...

YOU NEED TO HAVE A SETTING TO NOT FLIP THE BOARD...

or maybe it is just me who cannot find it.

The best

Muy buen diseño y mejor funcionamiento, reconfortable desde un app sientes q estás en un liger distinto, simply the best (Very good design and better performance, comfortable from an app you feel that you are in a different liger, simply the best)

Atmospheric and Beautiful

The attention to detail and ambience makes this chess game a mile above others. Great options for different game types, challenges and puzzles and levels. The music in background is so relaxing stick some headphones on and off you go into your own world. Great to relax to on a rainy day! Only negative is ads which I hope will go once I purchase full game (a good deal for a few quid) Also is there any updates coming as over a year since last one?

Love it

Wonderful app. I'm learning to play chess and this app makes playing the game much fun. I adore the backgrounds and the different chess sets are beautiful. I've just bought the Romans and the Isle of Lewis set. It's possibly the nearest I'll get to playing on the real set.

Beautiful Cash Grab

To this app's credit, the graphics are the best I've seen, and the animations are smooth. There are lots of choices for scenery, sets, and materials used to make the pieces - as long as you don't mind making micro transactions for the sets. You start off with the checkers set, which is literally just a set of checkers with pictures of the pieces on top. For ANY other set, you need to pay money. Even the stereotypical Staunton set is locked by a micro transaction. Other purchases include the ability to unlock other difficulties besides 1 and 4 (on a 1-10 scale) and the ability to have more than one saved game (really?). That said, once you buy the sets it's a VERY beautiful app. Worth it? Maybe.

Excellent

Good visuals, certainly improved my chess although that’s not saying a lot.
A good buy though!

Overall very good

Negatives: the AI is a bit overpowered for the chosen difficult levels, making a true novice’s experience one full of disheartening losses. Additionally, the DLC is broken, and support has been unresponsive for a number of days.

Pros: the game looks and plays amazingly well. Hands down the best chess app on the market today.

The best chess game

Simply the best chess app at the moment ! Great choice of chess pieces, with great detail and boards to play on, all supported by relaxing background music.
