I give it 3 star because sometimes after getting a perfect chance to turn your pawn into Queen (it just won't work, that particular pawn will just be there until the opponent capture it). It's frustrating. And secondly, sometimes when trying to move your rock to check the opponent king, also it won't go. Pls work on that.

Don't even bother to install this game. When you play, most of the time it will close your game automatically. Then when you check your history it's counted as a loss. The devs scripted it to make sure you are losing. They will blame your internet connection, but actually it is not. Your internet is fine. And yeah most of the reviews also from the bot/fake account.

This chess app is the worst! There's no clock. I was told I lost 2 ganes when both opponents had abandoned both games. I was given an extremely high ELO rating when my first 2 ganes were labeled as lost even though both opponents abandoned the ganes. You can't choose time controls. It's a horrible app for serious chess players.
