This game is too quick and unforgiving. Does not allow you to learn the game or take any lessons from the play. For advanced players only

what i like about this is that it doesnt have the option "undo" or "back" so you cant cheat and its set at a very hard level, i like it ... i guess that my iphone is smarter than me :))
Really stupid game, level one would be impossible if your not already good at chess and it wont let me online
When playing against the computer in practice mode, it is so hard, the hardest Ive seen, very hard to beat it. But after like 30 games you develop your tactic after a lot of frustration and finally get wiser and win. So I guess that makes it a good app if you enjoy chess. Have fun
I cannot stand this up its full of cheaters my pieces disappear randomly and often when Im winning the game will end and it says someone aborted, once Im in a next game I have a loss counter. I will never play on this app again I give it 0/5 and recommend to never play.
I have my 3g on and but wont let me play unless i have wifi
only draw draw draw button
Fine picture, but plays very poorly. The main drawback is incorrect position of the king and queen when playing black.
Not bad. Easy to make wrong move, press VERY carefully
NEVER lost a single game & now its saying I have 3 losses?!?! I will make sure this app gets over 100 bad reviews if this is not fixed ASAP. Try me.
Needs 3D option. Better txt capabilities as well. Live chess is better!
Love that it is Free and Fun!
I have the free version. I "lost" 2 games hitting buttons to find out what they did. How about some instructions with the menu? Also, I have played chess most of my life. I have always played against a living opponent. I have never played an electronic version before. How does one castle in this game? Again, how about some instructions in menu? Dont tell me to Facebook. I like my life private. My favorite line: I do not Face; I do not Twit; I do not Ya-hoo; And I never intend to! Menu does not have to tell how to play chess. It is safe to assume that one who uses it should already be acquainted with the game. However, it would be nice to know what all the little buttons do before one presses them and how to make special moves such as castling. This should have been obvious to the programmer. If one reaches an opponents first rank with a pawn, can one change it to any piece they would want, and how?
I have been using the free version. The game playing skill of this game is good - it will challenge you at most levels of chess and can vary its game, play defensively or aggressively, etc. BUT it has some weaknesses. The biggest problems are 1) not having a record of pieces taken, so you have to count what is on the board to compare; 2) the difficulty of studying the board layout following a win or a loss (look fast because in a few seconds it is gone, never to return); 3) the lack of a two-player mode; 4) the lack of obvious signals when you are in check; and 5) the impenetrability of the scoring and levels system. (Incidentally, in response to a comment below, castling is easy - just try to move the king two squares over instead of one).
The free edition is probably about 1000 to 1300. Moves very quickly (can finish a game in 7 minutes). Many opening traps (lost many games because of that) Only grip is that the human player only plays white....
Music is very annoying , I wish it was possible to turn it off. Combinations played by computer become very predictable after several games, a little variety in strategy wouldve nice. Other then that concept of no replay is nice.
Crap app. Dont waste your time.
you can get very confused looking at it. There is also lots of advertisment.
I played this ap up to level 10. I did not think there was a level 10 lol. Anyhow, for a phone ap it is OK, I did not think the ap played at a master level at level 9. It made too Many obvious blunders and can be baited easily. This ap may be too difficult for a novice player but is not as challenging as expected from the high levels and would be disappointing to the seasoned chess player.
This game cheats!!!!! You can not jump your king over your own piece!!! This game is designed to never be beat even if it makes an illegal move!!!!
