I am an average player and this is giving me a bad complex as I feel I am playing with a chess grandmaster!!! ### 5/5 — Good game my dudes *2018-11-17* What more can I say ### 5/5 — Onset Arsenal *2018-07-18* Am truly grateful to have this system in my cycle of references & resources! In my late years am reacquainting myself with Chess, as a means of staying mentally sharp; as well as an outlet, to quench my competitive nature, enjoyably! Respectfully Thankful, xSpyridonGermanKoukouzelis ### 5/5 — Great Chess Game *2018-03-30* I like everything about this app. Especially being able to input a position for analysis. Exactly what I was looking for. ### 5/5 — Beginners Chess *2015-06-03* This app is great to learn the game of chess. Each piece you select to move with show you all possible places it can be moved. There is also an undo button to take back your last move should you make a mistake or trying to learn a lesson. Great app ### 5/5 — Awesome!! *2014-12-05* I love playing chess and now that i have it on my iphone i'm able to play it anywhere. So worth 5 stars :) ### 5/5 — 5stars *2014-05-31* I give this app 5 stars because you can set up a game before you play ### 4/5 — Great and fun *2014-04-04* The only thing is that sometimes when I promote a piece or get a checkmate the game will glitch, exiting the app and reseting the game. ### 4/5 — great game! *2014-03-10* it is truly a great game but when i promote pawns it will crash if i choose queen. that is the only problem but besides that it is perfect.😄😄😄 ### 5/5 — Chess *2014-01-11, version 1.2* Great game love it!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Just what I was looking for *2013-12-11, version 1.2* Excellent chess app! ### 5/5 — Great game! *2013-10-12* I love this chess app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 👎👎👎👎👎👎 *2021-04-17, version 1.3.1* Este juego es orible ### 1/5 — Ads *2020-05-18* HORRIBLE cheating by ads INTERFERING and distracting you during the playing of the chess game!!!! It’s like several people talking loudly around you while you are taking a final exam in college... ++ ... !!!!! ### 1/5 — Bishop *2020-01-03* Difficult to reconise bishop pawns to similar ### 1/5 — Wrong pawn move *2014-06-07* Pawn can only move straight forward but "eats" on either of the two squares diagonally in front of it. Like 1 step forward then side step. 1 of the game doesn't follow this rule. **Developer response:** That special move is called as "En passant" - please read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/En_passant for more information. ### 3/5 — Good game, but watch out for scam ads *2026-06-08* Love this game, have had it for years. Recently, ads appear on the Home Screen and not just as tiny banners in-game. Not that much of a problem compared to other games inundated with ads, but it’s pretty scummy to allow those obvious scam ads that make you think something is suddenly wrong with your phone. ### 3/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️feedback *2022-08-28* I HATE THE “clean storage “ APP ON THIS THING❗️ ### 3/5 — Stalemate *2014-06-15* Don't understand why when the opposition's king is its only piece the game suddenly says its a stalemate? I can still win, needs to be fixed ### 3/5 — Excellent, only problem is bishops look like pawns *2013-05-30* Bishops look too much like pawns ### 3/5 — Fine app *2013-05-18* It is a good game app ### 4/5 — Stockfish engine *2025-02-12* Just like all stockfish engines it has very long drawn out end games. This thing can’t finish a game unless the ending is slapping it in the face. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good Mental Exercise *2026-01-08* At 79 I enjoy playing against the program and shamelessly “undo” stupid moves to look for a better choice.🙂 ### 5/5 — Excelente juego!! *2023-12-02, version 1.3.1* Juego todos los días y mejora la app. De los mejores juegos que tengo en mi iPad ### 5/5 — Excellent *2023-08-23* Chess at its best! ### 5/5 — Not bad *2023-02-05* Ads are short, straight forward game. A good choice to play some chess. ### 5/5 — It’s free *2021-08-23* Love it .. my child needs to stop running ahead ### 5/5 — Chess *2021-05-07* It’s been a while (30+ years) since playing serious chess and forgot most of the defense and with this app, I might be returning to my old form of playing seriously 🤞 ### 5/5 — WTH? *2021-01-25, version 1.3.1* Please explain when playing against the computer who only has its King left, and I had my King, Queen, Castle, Bishop and Knight left and the game is a Draw? Are you kidding? I was moving in for the kill. Let the game play out. ### 5/5 — Folly Beach Player *2021-01-18* Very fast. Easy Pickens through level 4 (my rating @ 1800) but must concentrate to win on level 5 and cannot beat level 7 at all. Only suggestion to improve is automatic alternation of white and black to open. But great app as does not slow you down with 3D graphics. ### 5/5 — Buena app para aprender o recordar. *2020-12-01, version 1.3.1* Es un buen recordatorio y plantea buenas jugadas. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2019-12-02* It helped me allot I learned Jess in 2 days!
