Great app but the "draw" results are ridiculous. People often, too often, simply stall when time is running out which forces the game to end as a draw. So unless you're playing one of the quickest modes (1,3mins) you will run into this issue. The quickest fix is the lengthen the draw calculations so people don't rely on this so much. It's infuriating. Not sure if it's the official rules or it's because you're not making moves that are game ending according to how the AI would move - but dude..

Thank you for this detailed feedback. We're working on major expansions of our automated moderation systems to help prevent players from stalling in lost positions. This matters a lot to us, and we'll keep working to make the game the best it can be!

Literally the best way to learn chess online for free. The 4 puzzles you can do daily genuinely increase my skill in spotting forks, checkmates, and other problems. Playing with others is fun (if they take their turn lol) and the lessons are great. I am having an issue where the lessons won't continue and it keeps making me retake the same lesson, so hopefully that fixes soon.

Hello, I have a feature request for the app that I think would be very helpful. Please add a "history" or "review" feature for games played against bots and real players, including when using the bot coach. Yesterday, I got a "Brilliant" move, but I had already used up my free reviews for the day. Now I won’t be able to see which move the coach considered "Brilliant." This was
