### 1/5 — Uhzig Schpahtl

*2023-11-23*

The rotten AI chess and the 7 dwarfs.

### 1/5 — I don't know what i was thinking DITTO

*2021-05-02, version 1.3.3*

Meh. 
Not meh. waste of money. or time. or both. i don't remember. I don't care what you do, i just wanted to let Apple  know what a piece of garbage they put in their store. 

Buy or dl if you enjoy feeling like a moron. you can play yourself and make sure.

### 1/5 — Stupid game

*2020-05-10, version 1.3.1*

Everything is paid

### 2/5 — Bad AI

*2023-03-31*

This AI chess "expert" is worse than a  beginner!
It does awful mistakes starting from its first move! Some people at the middle stage of the beginner's level will have NO problem beating this weak AI. It is very important to choose a better AI in order to make this chess "game" worth to be involved with!

### 2/5 — Can’t Castle?

*2020-05-23, version 1.3.1*

Played easy mode and as the ai was sacrificing everything i was unable to castle

### 3/5 — Uhzig Schpahtl

*2024-03-02*

The rotten AI chess and the 7 dwarfs. Unfortunaly this chess app is so weak that even a chess beginner will have no problem beating it!

### 5/5 — Lovey App

*2020-02-17, version 1.1*

I can’t seem to castle though? - edit - i figured out how to castle whoops!

### 5/5 — To the creator

*2019-04-16, version 1.1*

I would like to see an option to flip the opposite teams orientation and and option to show you where you can and can’t go but other than that it looks beautiful.
