Chess tactics
F&$K you and your nickname
Great app really enjoy the app,I only have two critiques one is sometimes in the middle of a game it will kick you out, and two the hints are great it doesn’t give a option of explaining the strategy of the hints.
Most recent update won’t start
anotre_BobTheBuilder
This app used to work great but the most recent update gives the splash screen, then after 1 minute exits.
Pop up ads are annoying
Thecoolcrater
The location of the ad that sometimes flashes slot machine apps is very annoying when you are trying to think of your next move . Deleting app after this post .
Bad game

Difficult
Jaguarcheckerplyr
One of the best difficulty adjustments yet guaranteed to find a challenging game
The board is actually bad
Exec Engineer
Contrary to the other reviewer, the way I see it the chess pieces are just too fancy. To be fair I played the game on an iPhone 7 screen. I played several games, and tried all the designs of the boards and pieces. I found them too "confusing". The best board for me should have been just white and green. This app doesn't have it. With regards to style of pieces, the art was actually excessive. They all add to confusion. I delete the app after several tries. Really not for me. I could not concentrate on the real art of chess play with the app's artwork getting in the way. Not all good art is good to everyone. Stick to the old simple artwork, perhaps.
ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. Don’t Waist Your Time!!

Because of Adds You Can’t Move Anything But The Pawns... The Ads Block Every Other Piece.... Don’t Download!! Not Worth The Time!
