Losing by opinion

The game is being grossly misstated by your opinionated
algorithm by creating a mistake oriented points system. I have been only 1 move away from checkmate several times when your negative points system awards the apponet a win ( and in one case the opponent had no captured pieces).
Chess is a tactical game with moves that are based on 1). How the opponent has played and 2). How your next move will bring the game to an end by checkmate.
Your idea is good but your obsession with penalties for
moves that will ultimately win the game in the time allowed makes the experience frustrating at best. I plan not to participate in the future as your structure is flawed and does not reflect the true structure of the game.

Needs work

Apparently after a recent update, I’ve noticed 2 point leads not being considered stable, but in my opinion, they were. Lost a couple games that should have been mine.

Hi. Please share the game details on in-app support or hello@zappchess.com. We will resolve the issue on priority.

Great Game!!

I really enjoy this game when I want to play a quick game of chess and not blitz. I stop playing after the reviews are blocked. It would be cool if I could watch an ad to review or something.
I also hope you add an endgame mode. That’s what I need to work on the most.
The membership price is a little high, but I’d pay a couple bucks to keep my reviews going on. Maybe a couple more if there a family plan option.

Oh! And an AI explanation during the game review would be nice. (I think the membership would be worth it then.) I’d like to know why my move wasn’t the best move, or why the recommended move was.

Hi. Thanks so much for the review. We have a cheaper "Lite" plan for exactly the game review use case, curious if you are aware of it. We are working on AI explanations as we speak, hope to bring them to you soon! Interesting suggestion on endgames - not making any promises but will surely consider it. Thanks again :)
