I like the app but not the timing structure. It's centered around speed chess with the only other option of extremely long games. There's no middle ground. Your only choice is to play 1 hour total time or 24 hours per move. Seems to me that these 2 options should be switched. 24 hours total time or 1 hour per move would be much better. Basically, if you don't want to play rapid chess then you have to play a game that can drag on for weeks if your opponent moves 1 piece a day.

Thank you for this feedback. We're looking into the possibility of a classical chess time format such as 90|30 as a preset on the app in the future. In the meantime, you can use the custom game menu to create a game longer than one hour.

I'm really happy with the app. I wish they had a more reasonable rate for game reviews. I finish Mayne 3 games with friends a day. charge me 15 or 20 a year for unlimited reviews. Not 50 Just downgraded the rating to 2 stars. When playing others you are forced to wait forever for the game to be abandoned. I just got kicked from a game I was 10 seconds away from wining because Verizon lost signal briefly. Do yourself a favor and don't play rapid on this app.

Tactics are easier than they used to be, with a difficulty option being added and removed for seemingly no reason. Also buggy. Edit: They re-added the difficulty option. Bumping it to 4 stars for now, premium options are still overpriced and the engine (computer analysis) is laughable compared to it's competitors such as lichess, which are free.

Update! We've added a new setting to let you customize the difficulty of chess puzzles on the Chess.com app. For more challenging puzzles where you can earn more rating points, choose the "Extra hard" mode in the menu: More > Settings > Puzzles.

* Level up your Puzzle practice by earning points for every correct move. Keep solving to advance and earn new scoring bonuses!
* Game Review now estimates your rating in that match - and shows how well you played at each stage of the game!
