Good looking but weak

I found the computer too easy to beat , in all honesty , it was mate in 11 moves and it was on its hardest difficulty! It seems oblivious to simple tactics , forks , pins , double checks ext , just open e4 and mate

Not ready for prime time

Does not let you make some moves and makes move for you. Undo doesn't work right. For example, I tried to move the Queen's knight pawn and it just ignored me.

Beautiful app, shame about the adverts

This is by far the best looking chess game for iOS, but there's no option to remove adverts with an in-app purchase. I would happily pay more to have just the game on screen without adverts.

This is ok

Not too good

Not HD!

Hmmm...not as described.
