Nice, waiting for Updates

Really nice game but unfortunately there is no full version available for my region. Looking forward for further enhancements and a unlimited version.

Very lifelike

This app is just like playing another human and not a computer.

Fix please

I was playing lvl 12 and it made the same impossible move multiple times. I was trying to put its queen at jeopardy with a pawn by jumping two square forward. And I was jumped by a pawn from the square in front of the queen. My piece is lost and a pawn moves diagonal. It’s broken. I’ll send a video if you contact me.
