### 5/5 — BGM이 고급스럽고 너무 좋습니다

*2026-01-10*

BGM은 진짜 고급스럽고 최고입니다 재즈 느낌을 잘 살렸네요

다만 AI가 너무 멍청합니다 7레벨까지는 그냥 바보나 다름없고요 8레벨부터는 그나마 할만한데 그마저도 가끔씩 퀸을 던지거나 기물을 되잡지 않는 등 인공지능에 문제가 있습니다

### 3/5 — すぐに切れちゃうの残念

*2025-12-14, version 1.5.8*

CPUのレベル8で四苦八苦し始めたので、通信で少し練習しようと思っているのですが… .必ずすぐに切れちゃいますよね… .通信相手の接続が切れましたのリピートがフラストレーションです。

とても良いゲームアプリなので、この、改善できてくれたら、すごく

### 5/5 — レベル10勝てたけど、

*2025-12-03, version 1.5.8*

勝った時の棋譜を文字にして表示できるようにしてほしい。e4 f6など、たのみますー！

### 5/5 — シンプルでいい。

*2025-11-02, version 1.5.8*

3Dだと駒が見にくい。広告がうざいので買い切りも選択させてほしい。

### 5/5 — 初心者です！！！！！！！！！

*2025-10-11, version 1.5.7*

わかりやすくて、レベルを変えれる。すごく使いやすくて便利です。ときどきCMが入りますが、CMの時間も、短いしすぐ終わるので、そんなに気にしません。

### 3/5 — かっこいい

*2025-10-04, version 1.5.7*

ビジュアルがかっこよくてテンション上がります。特に3Dの画面が好きです。
CPU対戦のレベル8以降を選ぶと途中でバグって自分の駒が動かせなくなるので、そこだけ直してほしいです。

### 5/5 — チェス♟️初心者🔰です

*2025-09-21*

とても素晴らしいです。まず動かし方、どうしたら引き分けかなどのルールをざっくり覚えてからダウンロードしました。CPUレベル１は何故そんなところに…といったミスをするので、初心者でも簡単に勝てます。先ずはどんどん対戦して慣れてから徐々にレベルを上げていくのがいいかなと思います。
動きや♟️の音もいいし、何より綺麗、そして2Dや3Dも選べる。音楽は消して♟️の音だけ楽しんでます。
初心者🔰さんにお勧めしたいです！

### 5/5 — 孫とリモート対局

*2025-09-12, version 1.5.7*

孫とリモート対局、楽しませてもらっています
使いやすく、早く孫にコテンパンにやられる日を夢見て今日も勝ってしまいました

### 4/5 — 初心者に丁度よい

*2025-09-02, version 1.5.7*

初心者には丁度いいと思います。毎回同じ動かし方で駒を進めてしまうと相手も同じようなパターンで駒を動かしてくるので、自分も練習が必要ですが、ランダムな動きがあるとより面白いです。

### 5/5 — 初心者には優しい

*2025-08-15, version 1.5.7*

まだレベル低い相手しかしてないが、ストレス無く楽しめます。
