Ratings and reviews

The concept has a ton of potential, but some of the features provided could be better executed. The Review feature should show engine lines based on the best move available vs. the move you made. Also, a bug; if while playing, you make a Pawn move to check the enemy King, the game will not allow you to continue IF en passant is a possible move in response. The AI does not respond and you are essentially stuck (opposing humans are unable to make a move in this case as well). Please fix!

The levels max out too early. My toughest bot is 1400. The analysis is sort of useful. It recognizes when a better move exists, but sometimes blames it on a failure to connect rooks or kick a piece, when that isn't the reason. It also calls pawns a "piece". Finally, after completing the campaigns, I had so little - no new boards, pieces, or realms. You mostly get those by showing up every 8 hours and buying the available skins. More of it should be given for the actual challenges.

Would be awesome if not for two major bugs. Checkmate opponent and time keeps going. Had to close app to fix. Also, waited 8+ minutes for opponent to time out only to be stuck with them at 0:00 and upon relaunch, lost ELO. Puzzles look like they'll get good after upgrades. Cool idea here but have to fix the issues with game conclusion.
