Robot players

AI has made this game not fun. Supposed to be actual people online but I’ve noticed a lot not robot players.

definitely a lot of bots.

Tonight alone I played a good amount of “users” of varying ratings and every single one was making highly accurate moves in milliseconds. It is obviously not natural gameplay especially for game after game of low rated players 😂 Im around 1700 so I deleted the app and redownloaded to see if my suspicions were right and yea for every single game to have each player make every single move accurately in split seconds smells of bots.

Long time user

If you’re sick of chess.com and their trolls,cheating stockfish worms, and contestant solicitations to subscribe. And “questionable reviews “ give this a shot couldn’t be worse!

Needs timer

Players are not timed on moves and will waste clock instead of moving pieces. This is especially prevalent when you have them in difficult positions. Game needs timed moves. Overall very fun to play against others from different nations, but the excessive cheating makes it annoying. But no ads makes up to an extent.

Real game

Great for beginners

I’m a beginner.
There are no commercials.
It’s fit my needs for learning chess.
I play the 2nd to the lowest level for puzzles.
I just learned how to share it, so soon I’ll be playing against a friend.
Enjoy

Fun App

Browser play is tough. Also: great on the TV. Thank you.

One problem

It can’t teach you how to play chess but I knew so it was fine

Only online vs friends chess I found

This is the only chess game online that I found that allow you to play with a friend easily. I play everyday with my dad across the globe
Thank you

Good App!

I really like this app. One problem lately is that either someone is hacking the app or there’s a glitch where my time runs down when it’s not my turn to move and I end up losing the game. Fun can play with friends, or computer or random real opponents. I wish it was a little more obvious when it’s my turn to move. Thanks for the cool app.

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback, we'll try to improve this in some of the next updates. Cheers!

Fun and frustrating

Fun to play the quick rushed games which exposes me as a chess fraud! Damn I can do some stupid moves in my haste. Perhaps the ability to confirm a move would be nice.

Glitches

The game is full of glitches with the pawns

Mostly bots

Few actual humans. Just bots playing same openings over and over again.

thinner game teaches you and even younger kids how to play chess i play chess with my brother and he is onlyday 2 years old and he is so good download now and become a master at chess

Bloody Brilliant!

If you're looking for a mental game to while away some hours and work out your soft tissue, then Chess is perfect for you! In all seriousness, this application is a wonderful way to improve your chess skills, even for new and intermediate players. The game allows you to sully you’re mates online with their dismal performance or match up with random blokes!

Bloody Brilliant!

Insanely long time waiting for new games

Either the player pool is *very* small or the app has some horribly inefficient queuing system running behind the scenes. Either way, no one is going to sit around twiddling their thumbs for 30 minutes waiting for a game to load.

Glitch

After the update I’m unable to replay my games, the screen is just stuck on the end result

Fun game

This game is fun. I’m completely new to chess so I’m using this to learn. When you get up to certain levels the computer is impossible to beat. AI is always 5 moves ahead of you no matter what you do.

Excellent app

Works flawlessly. My son and I really enjoy playing together.
