Needs more levels

This is a very fun game to play with some challenging chess puzzles, although you need to pay money to get rid of adds which pop up quite frequently and once you complete 1010 levels there aren’t any more, i finished this very quickly and isn’t that fun anymore because there’s nothing to do anymore

Money grabbing

Hints realistically cost real money, so you soon get stuck with no way out, as it is a set list of puzzles that you cant skip without solving, avoid…

Thinks

This app really makes you think!

Excessive ads

New update added random ads that pop up mid game without warning

Was awesome

This was my favorite puzzle game until 3 months ago. Now it crashes and locks up the phone for 30ish seconds all the time. I keep trying though, hoping a fix has happened because it really is fun.

Crashes

Just downloaded today and was enjoying the initial game but now it keeps crashing.

Love the puzzles

Would be nice to change colors tho.

USED to be stable, but now crashes frequently

I cleared all the levels and started over again. This app used to run great, but I don’t know what service they’ve partnered with, but the some of the ads in this game outright crash this app. Not the video ads—the BANNER ads. I hope they address this issue soon.

Update: “Restore Purchase” does NOT work anymore.

Inaccurate

Simple checkmates not legal.

Technical glitches

Gets stuck every 20-30 seconds, poorly programmed

It’s what it says it is

It’s a simple, fun, thoughtful chess puzzle game. It’s not overmonetized. It’s not trying to upsell clothing or costumes or chessboards. It’s just a straightforward, engaging, pretty chess puzzle game for ads or $5.

Great game but literally stuck in ads.

Very fun and good design, but the majority of the ads are scaled so large they’re missing the exit button so you get legitimately stuck in them.

The app constantly freezes

The app constantly freezes and jams the screen for a few minutes. So annoying, I removed it.

Quick fun chess game

Great to get a quick logic fix

Not Checkmate

Game says it’s checkmate when the king has a clear escape. Unplayable garbage.

Loaded with pop up ads

Was one of my favorite games but now unplayable due to the spam of pop up ads that keep trying to open your browser. Uninstalling the app.

Fun but a bit buggy

Awesome game; really great teaching attacking chess. Would give it five stars but of every few times I use it, it seems to lock up on my iPhone despite having the latest version.

Fun but Glitchy

The scenarios are fun, I enjoy them. But, it has frozen on me multiple times now, and that just makes the game unplayable
