Ratings and reviews

Anti-consumer subscription model that charges to remove the daily puzzle limit (I did 3 levels before getting paywalled) and for basic AI game advice that's nothing special by today's standards. Cheapest package is €100/year. Very greedy for a simple chess app, especially when the AI could easily be replicated. Even the cheapest package still has ads. Laughable. Don't support greedy companies. Don't support subscription models designed to squeeze your wallet without providing real value.

I've been playing this game for years now. The app itself is great, the bots, the puzzles, and the analysis. Overall rate—10/10. I just cooked one of my best matches. I suggest adding a new list of games beside the Game History. It would be great if there were a feature where I can save my best games. So that finding a specific game is easy when i need it like showing my brilliant moves to my pears. And that we can display on our profile like a playlist.

Great place to play chess. Games are easy to find and totally free. The pool of players is huge. Up till now I've had no technical problems in my games. They say there are loads of cheaters, but I haven't encountered any, as far as I can tell. The only downside to the site is that there is a pay wall for almost everything else. I just export the pgn of my games to Lichess and analyse them there. Same with my studies and puzzles.
