### 1/5 — No good

*2015-06-14*

Remove fro. Store this game spams you the. Crashes

### 1/5 — Not worth even to try

*2015-05-20*

I usually do not write reviews, but this one top it all as the worst App ever, as free I expect some ads but this one?, drive you crazy with 100's of ads, you can not got back in a move to learn, you can not edit the board for a specific game you want to try or explain, it react so aggressive and quick that you can not even think your next moves.........there plenty others good chess games out there that you can try and buy I encourage you go for others first.

### 1/5 — DONT DOWNLOAD!!!! Publicity in it!!!!

*2015-02-10*

Too much publicity, I couldn't even start a game, it even made the app crash twice...

### 1/5 — Pathetic

*2014-11-18*

So many ads, It sometimes crashes trying to get the ads displayed!

The chess engine might be good, but I have now played four games and it crashes when in check, when castling, or on pawn promotion. When it crashes you will lose your game unless you save it ahead of time. 

Terrible!
