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 a minimum of the previous game. It doesn't. Once it's gone it's gone. When glitches take that valuable info from you, it's a bummer.

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 the adds. Just get rid of the adds, if you need money, just charge people for the game, upfront. Or better yet, just do away with the adds all together. Stop with the adds, hopefully I was more clear. Thank you for your time.

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 mated in 3 to 4 moves if you don't obsess over every single move you make. if you don't beat the AI quickly, it will draw every time on purpose. Begginers? Only if you play the absurdly easy first two levels

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 has become a fast food game player, 10-15 min. Per game. This eliminates good play. Once I return to form and beat this on all levels, I plan on entering some tournaments.

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) because the at least 75% of my games are suddenly cut short with "It's a draw!" while I'm still honing in on the king. Infuriating. Sending devs screenshots.

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 app that doesn't take up a lot of room. No lags. So far, it's perfect and suits me wonderfully as I start as a beginner with room to play more difficult games, as I learn.

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 color combinations of marble. And a couple of different pieces styles too, but the app performance is excellent.

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 suggested I should buy the app that I couldn't even try out. I suggest them maybe give people a day or two, free of ads, so they can try the app and once they reach a milestone you can then make them buy the app.

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 a zero percent win rate. Level 2 just gives me the opponent's queen for no reason. Level 3 includes end game tactics that force a draw if down to just the king. You can't learn on this kind of scale.

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% win rate from each previous difficulty. The move from beginner (1) to easy (2) was a nice but noticeable bump in challenge, but the move to middle from easy is just impossible
