Poor execution
FunBobby23

Runs slow, consistently freezes after second puzzle, starts over with "Fool's Mate" every time it's launched.


Deserves 0 stars!

It does not deliver.


Uggh

What a terrible game! You're only allowed to move the exact piece the game expects you to. If you don't, the game halts with an error screen. Memphis Chess club and the "mate in x" games are so much better than this one. Don't bother!


Awful, unresponsive

The user interface is crap. It usually doesn't register taps, so it takes several attempts to make a move. The "puzzles" start off with terrible 1 move checkmates like the Fool's Mate. After I did a few of these and it nagged me to upgrade, saying I only had 20 puzzles left on the 'Lite' version, I deleted it and paid a dollar for a real app.


Has potential, but...........

I cannot proceed through the Tutorial since it keeps freezing.
