Ok but

Average game full of chess cheats maybe add a checker that people arenโ€™t useing engines

Glitch

I just played a game where there was a glitch and opponent took my king off the board and the game continuedโ€ฆ.confusing and frustrating but also really hilarious. Love this app tho, this was a rare glitch

Idiotic draw feature

The Game decides for itself to award draws or stalemates. Itโ€™s neither a draw or stalemate when the opponent can no longer move. Thatโ€™s a loss!!!!!

Needs social updates

It's annoying that people can request games with you that appear everytime you want a ranked game. It is happening quite frequently to the point of wanting to block this person.
However there isn't a way of doing this, which is also annoying as I have to keep losing the game just to try and get another person to play against. Killing my rating.
