### 2/5 — En passant not working

*2026-04-27, version 10.2.0*

Urgent fix needed

### 1/5 — Kids

*2025-10-05, version 10.2.0*

Bad for kids who want something like gems to buy stuff like custom pieces or something ,Htuk43e out

### 4/5 — A good game to play

*2025-06-10, version 10.2.0*

This game is a fun game it can get Intimidating but it is still fun you get to pick your name maker but your character go look like and you go to take your on intimidating but it is still fun you get to pick your name make your what your character girl look like and you go to pick her up or you can pick what your players look like and you could pick one for you one I recommend this game to all people who do not like to play that many sports this game is awesome

### 3/5 — Take back missing

*2025-05-31, version 10.2.0*

It’s just a tournament format of chess.com bots but without the take back which is unfortunate I made a “mental mouse slip” of playing a sequence in the wrong order which a quick take back would fix but sours the entire experience for me. It’s supposed to be a fun app not treated like a actual tournament

### 1/5 — Master level

*2024-06-26*

Good luck winning because the A.I is crazy

### 3/5 — Hübsch, funktioniert gut. Aber die Grafik stört beim spielen

*2024-06-25*

Die App sieht richtig gut aus und es ist alles ganz gut. So ein Spiel in dem man Schachturniere spielen kann finde ich toll. Aber die sehr schöne Grafik stört ein wenig beim spielen, da wird es recht unübersichtlich. Würde mir wünschen dass man zwischen der hübschen Echtbrett-Grafik und einer Chess.com-Grafik switchen dürfte. 😀 Dann wäre es auch für mich ein netter Zeitvertreib.

### 5/5 — Fun Way to Learn

*2024-03-13, version 10.2.0*

Great site

### 5/5 — CHECKMATE!!!!!!

*2024-02-09, version 10.2.0*

#1

### 5/5 — Chess master

*2023-12-20, version 10.2.0*

Will make you step up your game and become a better thinker which we all need that when it comes to playing games with the real chess is the one God created that’s the one that you can’t win no matter how many times you did you can play the one that made the chess game🤔

### 3/5 — Good game fake draws

*2023-11-07, version 10.2.0*

Great game except for the fake draws the computer pulls when there’s a clear defeat.
