### 2/5 — Too many!

*2025-07-03*

There are too many ads (and it’s only like four or five looped) and too buggy.  

For example, most people won’t play you twice cause they know you have to watch a full ad to do it; also, when you HIT play again you have to wait 4-5 secs for the ad to pop up but if you think you missed the button and again it’ll play the ad but won’t let you back in the game with the person you want to play again.  You have to close the app and restart it.  And that’s not all…

### 4/5 — Great Game but has Bugs

*2024-03-14*

I enjoy playing the “Chess Quiz” series and have found a problem in game 14 of pack 1. Consider the problem of checkmate in 2 moves, where black queen is first moved diagonally to put white king in check. This move is incorrectly rejected by the game as my second move would be to move black rook in leftmost column forward to capture white pawn to then checkmate white king. Please correct problem for other enthusiasts.

Thanks, regards

**Developer response:** Hello, thanks for your feedback!

You're right, there was an issue with some of the quizzes which we have already fixed. The fix will be available in the new version of the game (4.2) soon.

Don't hesitate to contact us for any problem or advice you want to give us.
