Great App 1 major bug – Checkmate! Review

This App has helped me stay in touch with family overseas and I like the very simple no frills design. However there is a bug or design omission. It does not let you choose which piece to upgrade to when a pawn reaches the 8th rank. It defaults to a queen which is not always appropriate. This caused me to lose a game today. Also following the recent update you no longer have the option to change your mind before hitting send. This was a previous useful option especially if your finger hit the wrong piece or square making a bad unintended move. Finally the upgrade also broke the enlarged version of the board you get when you first click on an opponent’s iMessage. It opens up a blank screen which you have to remove before selecting resume game to see their move. Please address these 3 issues especially the first. Otherwise good work! Roger B
