*2024-08-02*

폰이 체스 끝까지 가서 다른 기물로 바꾸긴 좀 아닌 것 같아요.왜냐하면 폰이 뒤로 가거나,옆으로 끝까지 가서 다른 기물로 바꿀 수 있게 하는게 좋겠어요.

### 1/5 — Cuando esta el rey al cosa y así es imposible ganar horrible juego

*2024-05-19*

Cuando el rey está al lado de una cosa no te deja mover otra cosa y si o so tienes que mover al rey lo cual hace imposible comer al rey para ganar y aparte de la nada aparece un anuncio y antes dice ganaste sin ninguna razón horrible juego

**Developer response:** Te recomendamos leer las reglas del juego. Los algoritmos del juego funcionan muy bien, según lo confirman nuestros usuarios.

### 4/5 — Chess

*2023-12-10*

It’s ok but not that good because I thought the computer would play against me but it was good try

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2023-10-04*

Downloaded and played a few games against my son, this game doesn’t show when the king is in check and even allows the king to be moved into a square that puts it in check and then it’s the other players turn even though the king is in check. I very quickly deleted it.

• Check highlighting is translucent, so the board stays visible
