There is no settings ? I thought used to have but at that time i cannot connect to the game ### 3/5 — No post-game analysis features. No ability to resign. *2025-05-11* It would be great if they add an in-app game analysis or any options to copy and paste the game file into an engine. There is also no way whatsoever to offer a draw or resign. Every single game has to naturally end or run out of time on either side. There is an issue I’ve ran into that’s similar to “freeze-offs” in MLB the show. It’s very infrequent but I’ve closed the app or locked the screen a couple times and it has frozen the game entirely on my move. There’s been no way to interact with any pieces or un-freeze the game. Strangely enough when my clock has run out I was credited with a win all three of the times it has happened. All three of those games still show as wins Other than that the games artwork is pretty cool. A few quality of life improvements and much needed features away from being a very good product. ### 5/5 — Seriously fun *2025-03-13* I love this game and I Look forward to playing this game as it improves. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the 5 start review Aspie! We've got a lot more features planned for the future. Glad to have you with us. ### 2/5 — Seriously fun *2025-03-06* Great game. I had this game downloaded before they took it off the shelf and now that is back I can’t get my old account back? I paid money and had accumulated a lot of chess pieces but now that I downloaded it again, I’m If all of that is gone. Edit. No response from the makers of the game. They took away features in the game. It is not what it once was. Will probably no longer be available again. Part of the game no longer works. No daily bonuses as well. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the 5 start review Aspie! We've got a lot more features planned for the future. Glad to have you with us. ### 5/5 — Seriously fun *2025-02-07* Great game. I had this game downloaded before they took it off the shelf and now that is back I can’t get my old account back?

We've got a lot more features planned for the future. Glad to have you with us. ### 2/5 — This game is fun but lacks the fundamentals of other chess games. *2024-10-25, version 1.8* I can't seem to play online. There's nothing but chess puzzles. ### 1/5 — Great game. When it was working *2024-07-23* The game hasn’t worked in many days. It t just tells me that it’s trying to load. I noted this on the discord page and I’m not the only one. It was a great and fun game. Great game. I just have a lot of games building up and they never expire. I’ve contacted support multiple times. The games never expire even though there is a time limit. Maybe the other player no longer plays or they deleted their account. Once the games fill up you can’t start new games. Help support I look forward to new updates. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the 5 start review Aspie! We've got a lot more features planned for the future. Glad to have you with us. ### 2/5 — Puzzles *2024-04-13, version 1.7* When I’m in the puzzles and I “checkmate” it’s unrealistic because there’s more ways the king could move. It’s not like I get two turns in a row or something ### 3/5 — This game is great except *2024-02-15* I love this game and most of its artwork and puzzles however earning coins and gems is hard once you pass the training and get deep in the puzzles rewards per day is limited to 10 and there is no in game chat so when you get faced off against someone who doesn’t know its they’re turn you cannot notify them at all that it not your turn and you and your opponent sit there for 10 minutes until the timer runs out instead of participating this has happened to me multiple times .i think that in blitz mode after each move a player is given +3-5 seconds to turn players timer because after each move your timer still continues to decrease for 2 seconds before the turn is actually switched which doesn’t make sense why is my timer still going after I’ve moved my pieces ### 3/5 — Great game *2024-01-15* Great game.

Maybe the other player no longer plays or they deleted their account. Once the games fill up you can’t start new games.
