Great app! A lot of modes to play, a lot of puzzles, guides, videos. It's a complete chess ecosystem. The only thing which could be better is to make the board a bit bigger than now in landscape mode. Game analysis is not that accurate and needs improvement (for example, it reports that I've made a mistake and could have captured a knight, while it completely disregards the fact that a would be losing a rook if I did capture it).

There are bugs or some drawbacks which make website/desktop interference better than mobile app. Even though I added friends in the app , it dosen't show afterwards and says you didn't add any friends. There's a problem with statistics. It doesn't consider few games for rating, and the graph for rating is wrong. Apart from that , in-game is good experience.

I've only played this on the free version and even that is the best chess game I've ever downloaded! Ads are very small banners at the bottom of the page that you can close anyway. Online matchmaking is immediate as well as super fun! The varying levels of computer opponents provide a learning experience for someone like me who knows the game but doesn't play much...until now!
