Ratings and reviews

Several bugs in the software for web browsers, including opponents' clocks still running several seconds after you checkmate them. Clicking pieces to move them during the blitz chess time scramble can often lead to the software buzzing you for an illegal move, and then it takes several seconds to regain control of the piece. Also not being able to see your opponent's Elo is annoying, and you can't click on their avatar to see their stats for possible cheating.

Fun concept. Rules good. Bidding phase has good UI and works. Placement phase has interesting strategy. However, interacting with cards and pieces on the board is not very responsive. UI in these phases could also use improvement. Non-responsiveness very problematic when playing against the clock. Chess skill varies wildly enough that linking to another app for chess rating would greatly improve fun and make bidding and placement more relevant to winning.Close to very good, not right now though

Works some of the time. It's a really great concept, but the UI is basic, the response is slow, and the servers are hit or miss, but mostly a miss. I've had to quit numerous games that get hung up in the middle of it. edit: To comment to Queenside's reply, it isn't the other player leaving that is the problem, it is literally the game stalling in-between phases.
