Ratings and reviews

Deleted The Legendary Follow Chess ♟️ App (15 yrs...Obsolete) To Install This One (ChessEver) 2026 Olympiad ..App Totally Froze Up and Crashed 3-4 Times (live tournament) unable to scroll thru live games 🎮 in Major event...(needs work Guys) analysis of games works well ..lots of boards pieces and complex features!! Keep working Guys!! Bravo!! 👏👍

It has only been a couple of days but digging it. If someone puts out a YouTube video on how to make use of all the tools that could be cool and I would watch. The ranking of arrows wasn't obvious to me. I could see the potential for creating a database for each opening you study and adding appropriate games. Idea. A button to create a flash card from a game and a space to view all the flash cards created. Flash cards reviewed for tactics, positional motifs or mistakes not to repeat.

Great app! Searching and filtering games of chess players never been this easy, fast and useful.
