Chess.Com: A Beautiful Mess – Chess Online Play Chess Live Review

This game overall is really fun, but there is one thing that (at least for me) ruins the experience completely. First of all I want to say I love the matchmaking process, it’s extremely responsive, there always seems to be someone online.The only problem I have with this game is the currency system it’s run horribly. The designer of this game must’ve had an IQ in negative digits because you start with a certain amount of cash and if you win a game, you gain some cash, if you lose a game you lose cash; this is heavily flawed because if you lose too many games, you will no longer have sufficient funds to even PLAY a game which (Last time I recalled) was the ONLY way to gain money besides buying it with real life money. There are only a few other nitpicks I have such as the fact that you need a certain amount of money to design your avatar (which is stupid) and I feel players get punished too harshly for taking too long to make a move (tho I suppose this is supposed to keep the game moving along at a faster rate. In conclusion This game is beautiful Mess, it’s Simultaneous a game where you can face stranger to get better at chess and wait an entire day to play another match again because you took too long to make a move.
