Ratings and reviews

decent amount of variants but the user interface is terrible and a terrible lack of options. can't tell you how often I am winning a game to suddenly tap the wrong piece and it's checkmate. no undue button really reduces the playability especially for newcomers in these variants as they are especially likely to have occasional screw ups.

Tedious and generally a hassle to use, the UI is messy, some buttons are too small and I accidentally hit buttons next to it and I have to scroll up and down a lot. The ads glitch sometimes which causes me to lose my progress, and I can't even skip them. Also, you have to use an in-game currency to buy different piece designs, more customization being locked behind a paywall just defeats the purpose. Go download ChessCraft instead, it's more limited but higher quality.

Has some traditional versions, like Capablanca and Sittuyin. Also some innovative versions worth trying. However, +Dark+ pieces on +Dark+ squares make it too difficult for me to play a proper game. Color combination choices or contrast control might resolve that. Some versions simple; some, complex. Some versions, ingenius and serious; some, a bit oddball. I look forward to improvements.
