Ratings and reviews

The app is OK. I wouldn't go beyond that. - On the pro side, it had a wonderful lack of add harassment. It plays quickly. Its move algorithms are in line with levels of play. - On the con side, it lacks the "obvious" piece distinction between king, queen and bishop. It's there, but it's subtle and takes getting use to. It doesn't give numerical values to levels of play. It doesn't give resign or abandon options.

Easy hardest difficulty out of all the chess apps. Everytime you make a move that will ultimately win you the game or an advantage, the game 'conveniently' ends in a draw. Can't undo once the game ends in a draw to get a checkmate. Most unsatisfying chess game. Do not waste your time downloading, there are many better and more difficult chess apps out there.

The levels are very good and the difficult level has a brilliant algorithm and logic. I love this game and in this app, you can sharpen your skills. It's the best chess apps. It would have been better if there could be different themes of boards and pieces and also if there is an option to retire rather than playing all through out and then coming to a draw.
