Ratings and reviews

Cool concept. Interface needs work. Too easy to misclick and send chessmen to the wrong square or for them to not move at all. Current drsign might work on a PC with a precise little mouse cursor, but on touchscreen you can't see what square is being targeted because your finger covers it. (Maybe highlight target file & rank, and allow canceling of moves that haven't landed yet?)

I greatly enjoy this game, but there are a couple of things that disqualify it from a 5-star: the massive slow-down of leveling past level 19, and the level-cap at 21. I'm rank 3500, and I've been playing for a long while. The fact that I won't be able to upgrade my units anymore, despite putting in hours upon hours, is kind of frustrating. Still, the strategy involved in 1v1 is awesome, and the concept is both very fun, and incredibly well executed.

I'm a fan of chess, but I've never considered myself really efficient at playing. One of the main reasons for that is lack of practice. It's not always easy to find someone to play with, and playing computers has always been a bit boring. Chezz has fixed the latter problem. It turns a turn based strategy game on its head by removing the turn based part. The different piece set ups and layouts are fun, but the real joy for me is being able to play piece after piece without waiting for the other person/computer to move first. Strategy takes a whole different perspective when you add that level of potential speed to the game. In the midst of thinking about your next move you also need to be constantly thinking about the opponents continuing moves. You can win or lose based on, not only your skill set, but the speed at which you can implement those skills. I've beaten people who I'm pretty sure would beat me in the classic game, because I was able to spot a opening just a little bit faster. On the other hand, I've lost to people just because I focused to much on one thing and missed something on the side of the board my attention wasn't on. If you enjoy chess even a little, and also enjoy games that make you think on your feet, then I highly recommend giving Chezz a try.
