Good game, but major issue. When you are waiting for the other person to move it will freeze showing no time running and then all of a sudden it unfreezes and show you are out of time or have way less then the 20 sec sometimes none or just a few. Also it will say "move failed check your connection" freeze up and after 20 seconds "you lose" "time out" but the whole time you can't do anything about it. I don't think it is just India's servers.. this has progressively gotten worse!

No options for timing, every game is 1 minute per move. Some people play slow, which is fine but I don't want to play a 30 minute game. A lot of people even time out and forfeit the game even early on. I want to actually play the game not rack up cheap wins. The matchmaking is poor. Apparently they have lobbies for players above a certain ranking but it'll take dozens of games to get there. I uninstalled before making it. Some goofy experience and rewards system like a kid's game.

I had given this app four stars, (minus one because the color scheme made it difficult to see the pieces). In the past few days, this problem has gotten worse, it changes between the normal color scheme and a board so dark that i can't see where black pieces are. So...yeah. Maybe a little more effort in the board color area so I can see my game.

Hello! This is probably due to a problem with the ads. Could you explain exactly when this occurs? For example, in the middle of the game, during your first or second game of your session etc.. any help is appreciated.
