### 1/5 — 成り立たない

*2026-07-01*

コマを動かせなくなります。タイムだけ減りフリーズします。これはチェックがかかっているかかっていない関係ありません。コンピュータ相手なら良いと思いますがオンライン対戦は絶対にオススメしません。何度も起きるのでストレス溜まります

### 2/5 — 広告が消えない

*2026-04-17*

サブスクリプションを払ってプレミアムメンバーになっているのに、広告が消えない。対戦ごとに長い広告を見せられる。また、オンライン対戦も、対戦数が2回くらいと限られている。

バグなのか、早く直してほしい。

### 5/5 — Great learning tool

*2026-01-29*

I’ll never get a rating but when I play this game, I can win every time.

### 1/5 — Все платно

*2026-01-21*

Ерунда полная. 3 игры бесплатно, потом только платно. Вроде бы можно посмотреть видео раз в 30 мин и получить 1 бесплатную игру, но это самое видео совсем не грузится. Бесполезное приложение. Удаляю и не советую

### 5/5 — la meilleure application d’échecs

*2025-12-06*

pour moi c’est la meilleure au niveau qualité de jeu et graphismes mais la version PC est encore plus fun !

### 3/5 — Too many and too long advertisements!

*2025-11-25*

What exactly is your business model?

### 3/5 — To many ads

*2025-11-22*

I love chess but playing this each time the game is over you are watching ads and before the game starts you have to watch an advertisement. I understand that the ads are sponsored but dang to many so I uninstalled it. The stars that I’m giving is for the overall game experience

### 5/5 — Thanks

*2025-11-15*

I enjoy the game

### 5/5 — Only chess app you will EVER need.

*2025-06-19*

The 1-100 levels is a great way to gradually increase skill level over time and it makes it fun.

### 5/5 — 初心者に適している

*2025-05-25*

レベルを1から100まで変えられるので初心者はとっつきやすい。もちろん白、黒も選べるので最初は白から黒にしてレベルアップできる。ヒント機能も使い放題で、かなり的確な助言が来るので勉強になる。
お勧めのアプリです。
