Great idea horrible execution

This would be a super fun game if they made it playable. This game is buggy as all heck.

Designer must be retarded

How can you play the game when your chess has been covered by the advertisements???

Lots of potential. Lots to improve but still fun.

The game is fun and it’s free! The mechanics add some flair to chess but the explanation of how they work is poor.

Things I would like to see in order to get 5 stars from me.

-Better advertisement placement

Ads are a given in free games but often times the ads cover up buttons I need access to. For example: sometimes I can’t cancel a bad move at times because the advertisement banner covers the button.

-An intuitive tutorial

When I started my first game, it was a little jarring because of the way the grid is set up. It made sense after fiddling with it a bit but it is a little awkward having my pawns stay on a light square and being able to attack what feels like is an adjacent square but is, in reality, a diagonal.
The special squares aren’t explained either. They are really neat concepts and work really well, but are still confusing without a tutorial of sorts.

-It’s functional but not pretty.

This isn’t as important as the first two things. But the color palette in the game is not super pleasant to look at. It feels incomplete. It gets the job done in differentiating the pieces but otherwise the colors are stark, bright, and lack the elegance I feel like chess players comes to expect when playing on a electronic device. As this app is super new though; it’s not the end of the world. But I think a better presentation could really help the experience.

Overall, it’s worth a download.

Could be a lot better

The ads in the lower left corner make it impossible to cancel moves

Both bishops are on one color tile

Pawns can move two spaces twice

Graphics could be better

It's just not living up to its full potential

Terrible

it's of all, it's probably the laggiest game I've ever played, and you have to pay to play online! What kind of garbage app is this?
