Reviews for Chess - Offline Board Game

I like the app. I am learning. However. The glitches. I have undone moves and my pieces just disappear. I have beaten the computer, chose review game, watched the add, then it goes back to main menu. This means I can’t stay the game. It would be nice if this app held data. At least […]

This is an excellent game to play, but you play and get to like the game, and then the adds start popping up, then you try to exit the adds and it will kick you off of the game. So if you do not want the adds, there is a fee to get rid of […]

I’ve been playing chess for decades. So I’m not new. Just thought I’d pick this game up to pass the time. First two levels are laughably easy. Its levels 3 and 4. Level 4 being where I platoed. They are nearly unplayable. The AI counters you with the most optimal counters and will have you […]

It is good to have the many levels to find the best training. Too easy is boring, too difficult is demoralizing. I am also glad for no clock. I am undefeated up to Candidate, so far. And I am able to think deeply to find the best move. The problem is that the casual player […]

Overall a decent app. But it’s extremely annoying how often the game is ended with “it’s a draw!” when I’m in the middle of a game. I’ll be setting up 3 pieces to eventually checkmate the computer, and it will suddenly end with that message. Incredibly frustrating. Update: reducing this to 2 stars (from 3) […]

I’m a beginner and know just the fundamentals of chess. Just need some experience playing. Love the “undo” in which I use to understand the game better. I’m slow…and a real teacher can lose patience. This is less embarrassing.Haven’t been interrupted with a single ad. Simple to set up and start playing. A small downloaded […]

Really good chess app. There’s ten difficulties, and It gets tough when you get to the 4th difficulty. If you wanted to improve it though, I would give more board and piece style options. Like for example instead only having a black a white board option you could have a wooden board option or different […]

I was reading reviews, most mentioned there are a lot of ads. I gave it a try anyway. I started the game, I went straight to learning pieces, picked the King just to get a feel of the game. And the ad hit, app was open only about 7 seconds. Uninstall immediately. Then the developer […]

The levels are not calibrated very well. It has a scale of 1-10, with one as easy and 10 as grandmaster. I’m beginner, with some knowledge of tactics, but still a beginner. Level 2 is super easy. It makes stupid mistakes and I had a 100% win record. Level 3 jumps so significantly, I have […]

Great for learning and great for passing time. Unfortunately, you might as well forget about trying to move up through the 10 difficulties because once you get to 3 it becomes broken. I’ve won 1 of 12 total games played on middle (3rd) difficulty after gradually progressing myself after at least 20 games and 50% […]

Overall the game is good and fun to play, but there are times where they force you to a stalemate, even when the opponent only has their king left and I have 10. I also had an instance of the computer checking my king right next to it with a rook, with no other pieces […]

If a beginner player, this app is not for you. Levels 1 & 2 are super easy, but level 3 is impossible (and there’s like 10 levels). Also, it seems as if the computer is about to lose, it automatically calls it a stalemate so the computer “wins”. Also, my queen can’t take the king […]

I don’t think the difficulty level is jumping too much… I’ve played 5 games and moved up a level with each win, and as of level 5, I think the progression has been nice and steady, while still making more competent moves with each level, to the point where you can learn from it. I […]

Be aware – I paid for the app but still get ads. Even with the paid version, when you get beat by the AI and press “Retry”, it launches an ad that can’t be skipped for a fairly long time. There are less ads, but they are still there. If I had known this I […]

I love that it’s just a simple offline app, no leaderboards or any other bloat in the way. The ads are not at all intrusive (start and end of each game) and only $3 to remove. The best part is that the computer is actually useful for beginners. I am trying to learn chess beyond […]

Good implementation! The computer’s behavior is varied (at least through level 6; I haven’t defeated the computer at 6 yet and you have to win to play at the next level). Ads are tolerable. One thing about ads: when there’s a loss or draw, it jumps to the ad immediately without being able to see […]

The persistent ads ruin this game. Aesthetically, the game looks good, but it just constantly tries to force other apps down your throat, before, during and after matches. They cannot be skipped and are not easy to exit out of, for some of them I even had to close the game out and restart it […]

I have a good knowledge of chess in general. I’m just getting into this game and am at the medium level and over 200 with puzzles. At times, I have come up with multiple solutions for mate, but the game will only recognize one solution. Puzzle mode will blunder as well. Then, you’ll have to […]

I have been playing Chess for a long time. I understand the game very well. The point is, this is a all around good game. It teaches you, challenges you, and is very well made. The increases in difficulty are well balanced. It is well worth the money for removing ads. I don’t play games […]

Great app for learning chess. You can pick the level you want to start at and work your way up. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, but, in the process, your learning strategy, what works what doesn’t, what mistakes not to make and ideas for moves. You can restart a game, take back a move, […]
