I’m experiencing an issue when playing as the black side. When I start a game as black, the black pieces are not visible on the board. However, when I play as white, everything displays correctly. I’ve already tried several troubleshooting steps, including restarting the app, starting new games, and checking display/settings options, but the issue still persists. I lost many times due to the above issue.

A very nice application for chess players but it has its own disadvantages, in my case while playing in tournaments everything gone black, even I made my move my time is yet running out and then frustrated fellow trying to play another match. And again this botch happening either it's a full network 🛜 area or not.

The application offers a disappointing user experience. The interface feels poorly designed, and connectivity issues further reduce its reliability. Additionally, the requirement to pay fees and participate in tournaments in order to obtain titles is discouraging. Recognizing players based on their skill level alone would be a more fair and accessible approach. Not all users have the time to commit to tournaments; many prefer shorter formats such as blitz or bullet due to limited availability.
