The game seems great, best you guys fix up the errors, otherwise I think this game has great potential, the BIGGEST PROBLEM with this game is before it even starts, that is: THE ICON, common guys, that is the crux of the matter, people are more likely to buy your game based on the icon, because in the first place, when browsing the app store, I click on apps based on the quality of the apps icon. I only clicked on this app because there are so many Chess games that look horrible. Also, upgrade the app to HD graphics, this app has huge potential, the core code is there, but it needs graphic improvements, get a icon that has a clean simple icon, follow the apple example. Good luck
Great

This all deserves more attention! Good 3D boards, and good multiplayer options. A lot of chess apps don't have that! One thing bad though is you can't castle...
Best Chess App Ever!

If you want a chess app, this is the one to get. No glitches, no loops, no bugs, just plain fun! There are types of boards, screen shots, game center, 2 player, and great graphics! You can also do 2D or 3D modes. There is probably a lot more to this app to be experienced yet! BEST CHESS APP EVER!!!
Chess-tastic!

What I love about this chess app, in relation to all the others I own, is that it plays so easily and doesn't crash or confuse me with unwanted options. As a 3D chess game, I'm able to play in 3D without even needing to switch between camera angles or the 2D option. Also, I find that in the evenings there are ample players online for games, and most of them using this app are friendly and interested in the exactly why I prefer this 3d chess app: solid 3D chess!
Bad 3D

Worst 3D pieces. Never close to tournament board. Engine is slow. Interface is bad. I do not like it at all.
Pretty good chess app

Decent 3D chess game. Like the rotation feature and 2D options. It does crash (close) sometimes in the middle of a match. Hopefully that glitch is fixed.
