Ratings and reviews

It's a fun game for the kids, teaching them how each piece moves. Also gives tips on how to do some combinations with pieces. Fun and cute! There are a few areas that are not programmed correctly (unable to access only a few optional puzzles), but they do not stop you from being able to complete the game. Would be nice to visit previous worlds, in case you missed a puzzle or required a piece to do a certain task.

Application has a bug. In the desert the horse is unable to perform the only movement possible in order to enter the board to catch the pear, kill the opponent's pieces and catch the crown. It's needed to solve this bug in order to continue play. Can you please give some feedback on the solution of the problem?

Great app for playfully learning the basics of chess. However, I think there is a bug in the "egypt" stage that prevents you from collecting the last pear in order to buy a certain card: You cannot enter the forest left of the central pyramid. There seem to be two possibilities. But the one in the south of the forest is protected by a knight. And the one in the east seems to be free but cannot be jumped with a knight. Otherwise, it is a great game, especially for kids.
