Continual freezing - seems fixed in 1.0.21
Can’t progress with this as I can’t play people because of freezing which forces me to restart the app. Tried iPhone 14 and on a iPad mini Edit: seems fixed now. Re-rated.

omg good
Poor implementation of an ok idea, tries to merge chess with standard mobile game ideas and it doesn’t work well. Ultimately this doesn’t give anything more than a standard chess app while not being as well made for actually playing chess. Also this does impact chess.com rating without ever making that clear. Everyone would be wise to avoid this app.
It is ok, poop
I love chess and I love Chess.com, however the game play on this version is nothing more than shocking. Trying to play “bullet” I.e., a 1 minute game and the game play, choosing the pieces and the moves is impossible. I’m trying to move quickly and it’s like the game wants me to lose 🤔 hmmmmm. May have to write this off as a good idea, but bad idea
Games played on Kingdom Chess are synced with your chess.com profile. Your stats and games can be reviewed on chess.com, and your ELO is shared between both apps. Personally, I’m a big fan of this functionality. Since chess.com is where I play all of my online chess games, I don’t think I would bother playing another app if (1) Games didn’t affect my chess.com ELO (2) I didn’t think I was going to be matched with someone at a similar skill level. On top of this, you earn in-game rewards which make playing feel more rewarding. For example, you can earn avatar items which can be displayed during a live game. This is a much better system than the league functionality on chess.com, since you have something to show for your efforts - as opposed to a badge on your Home Screen. I’m a big fan of the board and piece design as well. I can see myself gravitating towards this app rather than the chess.com mobile app for this reason. I do have a few thoughts on features that are missing or could be improved upon: (1) Some sort of background music or ambient sounds would work well with the style of app. Arguably could be distracting in-game, but would be nice in the home screens at least. (2) Loading time when switching screens/menus could be snappier, although I’m sure this will improve with updates. (3) There don’t seem to be any benefits for having a chess.com premium subscription. This might come across as a little petty but, since the game has micro transactions, I did expect some sort of additional bonus with the £15 monthly subscription. If above points are actioned via future updates, I’d happily change review to five stars.
Why russian and belarusian flags are not greyed out?
Not sure if games played in Kingdom Chess will affect rating in Chess.Com login. Have uninstalled Kingdom Chess for time being.
The gamification of an existing game is a serious challenge, and it’s really well done here. The game cleverly breaks down barriers of Chess such as elo anxiety and brings life to the game. It also subtly teaches good habits through its replayability systems and play loops, by emphasizing analysis and vs bot play. Thank you guys for this amazing work, hope to see this grow!
App feels totally unfinished, cookie cutter story. No guided tutorial through and of the functions or features. No background music. Seems to simply be a reskinned front end to chess.com with a cash shop…
