Your puzzles are pathetic!

There are a few puzzles with multiple correct awnsers, but only one is considered correct you you can lose elo for giving the correct awnser, I came across a puzzle where like 5 mates ware available but the awnser was to win material, please fix this. Like even Lichess puzzles are better.

Nice

The app has gotten so much better lately. I really like the new analysis, and the coach is actually helpful! Definitely enjoying the app more now!

Грузит, грузит…

Грузит и грузит стартовую заставку и всё. Потом разок загрузил и предложил решить пару задач. И снова завис. iPhone 16 Pro.

how is it possible that a game with elements of speed isn’t offered in at least 60fps??? game is constantly lagging as everyone else has mentioned. what is going onn?

Response from developer

Hello, and thank you for the feedback. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. World Chess uses anti-cheat systems to help protect games from unfair play, and in some cases this may affect performance. We are actively working on improving stability and making the gameplay experience smoother for all players. If you have a moment please share some details with us at support@worldchess.com. A screen recording of the issue would be very helpful!

This is ridiculous

Are you seriously telling me that the International Chess Federation, which I pay no small sum for every year, which my federation pays for, which receives IOC funding, needs to put adds for dumb mobile games on their major online platform? Your memberships are ridiculously expensive as they are. Honestly shameful; do better FIDE.
