The BEST chess game out there

I’ve been playing for years since this was released on Apple Arcade. I’ve tried other chess apps and none of them come close to how exceptional this one is. Something about the check effects, the sound effects and the clean design makes for a really satisfying game.

Not for beginners

This app has what it calls chest lessons but they are very poorly done. They don’t explain things & don’t give begiiners a chance to play in a way to learn in the matches. This is really for expert players.

Nice ➡️ better

It’s amazing for normal chess and I love it but with the name chess universe+ I would think it would have all the different versions of chess like fairy chess and I think it be cool to be able to create your own chess pieces within the app so yeah great for normal chess but it’d be better if it actually included the universe+ in the game and not just in the title.
