It’s good

It’s fine but to much stuff you have to pay for. There is too little stuff that you can use for free but I like the no ads

Chess

This chess app I do recommend, it has suggestions which helps early learners and if you get the app on up to date iPad or a up to date phone you can do chess lessons on the app and it’s free!! There is a special offer for the pro but that is only good for certain things that you wouldn’t be able to get on the free version. But if you get the chess app on a old phone or iPod it may not give you the option for lessons it may only give you the option to play and that isn’t the best. I suggest this app over others even though I haven’t looked into many others. I hope you people with this app in joy it!!

Amazing Free Resource For Beginners

I can’t believe how useful this free app is. I’m learning a lot about chess and love all the features this app offers.

Fantastic learning experience

I enjoy this app as a learning tool for chess
Thank you

Wacky logic

The computer will recognize a losing situation and sometimes force a draw by repetition. You can’t make another move and they just force you back and forth, the only way out is to undo their move and then make them move a weird way and then they’ll control your move, and you just undo that and move yourself and they take back control of their color. It’s incredibly frustrating I’ve got about 300 games played and 15-20 draws by repetition
