Pretty decent

Lots of puzzles, mostly easy so far. Hopefully they’ll get harder. Graphics are a bit blurry, they could do with improving. Some music would be nice. Room for improvement, but a decent chess app.

Great Chess Game & Awesome Puzzles!

I have been enjoying this app for quite some time now.

The puzzles as they offer a range of difficulty (mate in 1 / mate in 2 / mate in 3).

There is a similar setup for playing a chess game against the AI (3 different levels) but even at the hardest level an average player can score a victory.

Very well done overall!

Best Chess Program Ever

If you are looking for a fair and fun chess program, look no further as this game has it all.
At medium difficulty, you feel like you are playing against another person as you can make a mistake & still end up winning the game.
The puzzles are phenomenal & really make you think!
Job well done :)

Great app

I’d like to give it more stars but there is a few too many ads. I don’t need to see an add after every single puzzle. I’m a quick solver and that is too much. Perhaps the developers should also include a timer delay between ads.

Great chess puzzle game

Ok so I play a lot of chess and was at first skeptical but honestly this app is excellent. Sort of like a workout for your "chess brain". Well-thought out puzzles that are tough but doable. If you love chess or are still just learning this is a great app.
