I’m like a 600 on chess.com and even I’m smarter

This games engine is awful even a beginner I can see how many opportunity’s the engine just ignores the moves provided are almost always no where near the bets moves you could make just in my latest game along rather than have my king take a rook saving my rook the engine decided to make my king runaway resulting in the loss of my rook extending the time the game took

Location why…?

Never really played chess before, but this game is pretty fun. It’s satisfying as a time-waster but I don’t really care about getting better at chess.
Two stars off for sketchy ads and data policy. Why does a chess game app need my location? Trying to clear data harvesting (spyware) games off my phone, so now deleted.

Online

I need more players online.

garbage

ok

Good concept but missed the mark

Constantly while trying to play, it’ll bring up its own download page for no reason. Also all the features that are interesting are hidden behind “stars” aka premium currency. I don’t mind apps wanting money to be ad free, but asking me to watch 15 videos to unlock each individual feature is insane.

Lazy Chess

I really enjoyed Lazy Chess, as I am a relative novice at the game end enjoy having an unobtrusive ‘tutor’ to help improve my game. I could probably go to individual web sites to garner the information that Lazy Chess provides, but it does provide that ‘lazy’ help that makes it so convenient. I also like the idea of levels and modes to both provide additional challenges and give me a way of gauging my progress in improving my game.

Great game to improve your chess skills!

This game is great for all levels off chess players. I hadn’t played chess in years but this game allowed me to ease in and relearn the basic of the game before moving on to harder levels and increasing the difficulty. It is a lot of fun and a great way to get better at the game of chess!

Favorite way to play chess

This game makes chess fun and relaxing. Chess has always been a little stressful to me, and this has made it almost meditative. It's also just a great logic puzzle... highly reccomended!

THANK YOU for this game!

Lazy Chess let’s me play chess like I play crossword puzzles - it’s almost meditative. It’s the perfect mix of brain teaser and strategy. I find myself playing it all the time, but it doesn’t feel like empty calories or wasted time, because... well, it’s chess!

Simple idea, super well done.

needs work for good players

It's a neat idea and is sometimes fun. I decided to delete the app after having a winning position in an endgame with three passed pawns, but move after move your engine won't give me an option to push a pawn, and is instead only offering king moves that would eventually lead to a draw by repetition. This would be more fun for high level players if you had a better engine. Definitely a neat idea though.

Good concept

On paper it has an interesting concept but gets boring half way into the first game, there’s no learning curve because no matter what you make the second best move, it’s a cool concept but isn’t fun to play there’s no repercussions you basically can’t lose if facing a bot it’s not fun and it’s too easy.

Impossible to get past 6 stars

I like the concept but would like to play online vs people. For that you need 14 stars, but I don’t seem to get any stars for milestones or watching ads past 6 stars

Love this game!

So much fun. Just hope the app icon can be changed(it looks cute but always makes me forget it’s a chess game app)

Very addictive but needs save game.

Loving this! Keep coming back for another go. However it needs a save game or a way to return to a game in progress. Also the ‘watch videos to earn stars’ doesn’t seem to work. I would like to be able to earn stars to unlock the rewards. Happy to pay the in app price but would like at least to have the save game option.

Love the concept, but needs work.

First of all, switching between your available moves is so slow. One tap should move both pieces instead of one at a time. Most of the game is analyzing your moves, and the animation adds so much waiting. Next, the best/worst move notifier or whatever is not that accurate. Many moves I feel were way more valuable then the other were often the worst even though the cpu had nothing to play off of me with. This game is interesting but not worth the full version in the current state. Also, the price seems steep for not many features currently.

Fabulous APP

No stress. It can teach you how to play or really improve
your skills. This presentation is elegant, simple, entertaining &
surprisingly challenging.

Fantastic chess app.

What a fantastic chess app... perfect for developing new strategies... whether beginner or an advanced player, there is much for you to explore... this app is stylish and very well designed... I love it.

Fun and challenging

I am a casual chess player who enjoys the game but generally loses. Lazy Chess is great because I only have two choices, making it much quicker than a “regular” game, and I am learning new moves from the AI. I will be recommending this to all of my friends. It is definitely more exciting than the usual AI chess games, and I look forward to trying it with friends online!
