Здравствуйте! рейтинг никуда не делся. Теперь все подписчики могут играть на Online ELO Rating — официальный рейтинг FIDE. Подробнее в статье https://support.worldchess.com/en/articles/13832141-world-chess-rating-and-foa-rating-now-online-elo-recognized-by-fide
So far so good
Also so far I can find games fast with real people. I’ll have to try at a few different times in the day to see how consistent that is as I’ve noticed in other chess apps depending on the time of day it is harder for the app to find someone online. I like that I can choose multiple time formats at once to search for potential players, something I haven’t see in other chess apps. Like a few other chess apps you can only play a few puzzles a day unless you get the pro account. Which looks cheaper than the lowest tier of chess.com, though chess.com has way more features. This app does have an additional 10 puzzles that look like they are submitted by players around the world that you can try once your daily free puzzles are complete. Haven’t tried them all but they look difficult. They are also in another language so I don’t know what the “hint” or description of each puzzle is.
Rather than having characters to play, you can play AI bots as well. And it will let you play in any time format with a bot which is pretty cool. Playing bullet with an AI robot is kind of crazy!
All and all it has the basic stuff every chess app has with the pro account giving you access to the Masterclass lessons with GMs, more puzzles and opportunity to gain FIDE status (which is the main reason I was interested in this app).
I like the idea of achieving FIDE rating with the pro account so I can see where I rank against world players but I haven’t signed up yet. I’ll will play a few more games for a few more days/weeks and then consider. Will also update review if I experience any issues. But so far definitely not seeing the issues others have said in their review.

Hello there and thank you so much for your review! We'll pass this to the team. Also the last update is that the rating system on World Chess is now called the Online Elo — the only official Elo rating you can earn online, calculated by FIDE, available to every registered player. Your Online Elo is official from your very first rated game. Titles — AGM, AIM, AFM, ACM — require a PRO subscription and a connected FIDE ID.
Мало людей, много читерства
Все игры под копирку (даже в турнирах это происходит):
2-3 inaccuracies
0 mistakes
0 blunders
93-97% accuracy (то есть ходов по первой линии Stockfish)!
И это соперники с рейтингом до 1200.
Единственный способ их обыгрывать - это по времени, выбирать Блиц 3 мин (без добавления на ход). Они не успевают дожать.
Nice UI aesthetics

Endless bugs and cheating
Response from developer
Hello there and thank you for your feedback. We do ask for logs, that's true. To deal with bugs we really need to have as much info as possible. We really appreciate your reporting. It helps us to develop the app further.
Horrible, one of the worst chess apps by any measure &/or metric!
It constantly keeps me from being able to make a move costing me the game even worse when it’s a won game but then I lose because it doesn’t allow me to make any moves..
And it lacks the feature to control the ratings of the opponents that can play against you, I constantly have to abort a game because the opponent is 400 or more rating points below me, wasting my time and only getting a single point for the win.
Horrible anti-cheating measures.
And are you guys out of your mind, I did not come here (nor did anyone else) to play against “BOTS”, did you actually think it was ok or even a good idea to have Bots play against people to make it look like you have enough players on here or so that people are not waiting a long time for a game..
We are on here to play against a live opponent..
That was disrespectful, that shows that you don’t care about anyone on here and that you just through this together just to make money..
Who is going to spend money on this garbage, if anyone did they did so thinking it would be better and they should as soon as possible cancel or never renew their subscription..
